Stop that! Inhibition, sensitization, and their neurovisceral concomitants
Key result
A dynamical systems model suggests that central (e.g., GABA-ergic) and peripheral (e.g., heart rate variability) inhibitory processes are crucial for adaptive behavior and system flexibility.

Proposes a dynamical systems model linking central and peripheral inhibitory processes, such as heart rate variability, to adaptive behavior and emotional regulation.
Cite This Study
Thayer et al. (2002) conducted a review in attention, emotion, and anxiety disorders. A dynamical systems model suggests that central (e.g., GABA-ergic) and peripheral (e.g., heart rate variability) inhibitory processes are crucial for adaptive behavior and system flexibility.
