“…In animals, eletrical and chemical stimulation of the prefrontal cortex produced a depressor cardiovascular response 54,55 . In humans, resting parasympathetic HRV has been reported to positively correlate with prefrontal functional connectivity 56,57 and with electroencephalographic activation of the prefrontal cortex 58 . Parasympathetic HRV has been found to covary with task-related changes in prefrontal cerebral blood flow 56 and to increase with prefrontal transcranial direct stimulation 59 .…”

Mild cognitive impairment (Mci) is a heterogeneous syndrome with two main clinical subtypes, amnestic (aMci) and non-amnestic (naMci). the analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) is a tool to assess autonomic function. cognitive and autonomic processes are linked via the central autonomic network. Autonomic dysfunction entails several adverse outcomes. However, very few studies have investigated autonomic function in Mci and none have considered Mci subtypes or the relationship of HRV indices with different cognitive domains and structural brain damage. We assessed autonomic function during an active orthostatic challenge in 253 oupatients aged ≥ 65, [n = 82 aMCI, n = 93 naMCI, n = 78 cognitively normal (CN), neuropsychologically tested] with power spectral analysis of HRV. We used visual rating scales to grade cerebrovascular burden and hippocampal/insular atrophy (HA/iA) on neuroimaging. only aMci showed a blunted response to orthostasis. postural changes in normalised low frequency (Lf) power and in the Lf to high frequency ratio correlated with a memory test (positively) and HA/iA (negatively) in aMci, and with attention/executive function tests (negatively) and cerebrovascular burden (positively) in naMci. these results substantiate the view that the AnS is differentially impaired in aMCI and naMCI, consistently with the neuroanatomic substrate of Alzheimer's and small-vessel subcortical ischaemic disease.

“…In addition, in contrast to earlier publications, where the interaction between several physiological systems such as brain and cardiac system (Liu et al, 2015, Lin et al, 2016, or brain, cardiac and respiratory systems (Bartsch and Ivanov, 2014) were addressed over phases of different physiological states, analysis of the current work was limited to one physiological network and only during one single state. Especially the frontal lobe seemed to interact with the heart as has been shown in several studies by Thayer et al (2009Thayer et al ( , 2012 and Patron et al (2019). In addition, this data stems from a sample of male subjects only.…”

“… Mather and Thayer (2018) proposed that increasing RSA through RSA-BF could promote functional connectivity between brain regions involved in emotion regulation, such as the medial prefrontal cortex and the amygdala. Supporting this hypothesis, higher HRV has been reported to correlate with higher prefrontal cortex activity ( Thayer et al, 2012 ; Chang et al, 2013 ; Patron et al, 2019 ), greater functional connectivity between the medial prefrontal cortex and the amygdala ( Jennings et al, 2016 ) and with improved emotional regulation and psychological health ( Hansen et al, 2003 ; O’Connor et al, 2007 ; Lane et al, 2013 ; Gillie et al, 2014 ).…”

Not All Competitions Come to Harm! Competitive Biofeedback to Increase Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia in Managers

Despite the positive impact on achievement, competition has been associated with elevated psychophysiological activation, potentially leading to a greater risk of cardiovascular diseases. Competitive biofeedback (BF) can be used to highlight the effects of competition on the same physiological responses that are going to be controlled through BF. However, it is still unknown whether competition could enhance the effects of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA)-BF training in improving cardiac vagal control. The present study explored whether competitive RSA-BF could be more effective than non-competitive RSA-BF in increasing RSA in executive managers, who are at higher cardiovascular risk of being commonly exposed to highly competitive conditions. Thirty managers leading outstanding private or public companies were randomly assigned to either a Competition ( n = 14) or a Control ( n = 16) RSA-BF training lasting five weekly sessions. Managers in the Competition group underwent the RSA-BF in couples and each participant was requested to produce a better performance (i.e., higher RSA) than the paired challenger. After the training, results showed that managers in the Competition group succeeded in increasing cardiac vagal control, as supported by the specific increase in RSA ( p < 0.001), the standard deviation of R-R wave intervals (SDNN; p < 0.001), and root mean square of the successive differences between adjacent heartbeats (rMSSD; p < 0.001). A significant increase in the percentage of successive normal sinus beat to beat intervals more than 50 ms (pNN50; p = 0.023; η 2 p = 0.17), low frequency ( p = ≤ 0.001; η 2 p = 0.44), and high frequency power ( p = 0.005; η 2 p = 0.25) emerged independently from the competitive condition. Intriguingly, managers who compete showed the same reduction in resting heart rate (HR; p = 0.003, η 2 p = 0.28), systolic blood pressure (SBP; p = 0.013, η 2 p = 0.20), respiration rate (p < 0.001; η 2 p = 0.46), and skin conductance level (SCL; p = 0.001, η 2 p = 0.32) as non-competitive participants. Also, the same reduction in social anxiety ( p = 0.005; η 2 p = 0.25), state ( p = 0.038, η 2 p = 0.14) and trait anxiety ( p = 0.001, η 2 p = 0.31), and depressive symptoms ( p = 0.023, η ...
