Perseverative Thinking and Health: Neurovisceral Concomitants
Key result
A proposed neurovisceral model suggests that the relative sympathetic activation seen in perseverative thinking may represent dis-inhibition due to compromised negative feedback mechanisms.

Perseverative thinking
This theoretical paper proposes a neurovisceral model explaining how perseverative thinking may negatively impact health via compromised vagal cardiac control and faulty inhibitory mechanisms.
Cite This Study
Thayer et al. (2002) conducted a review in Perseverative thinking and health. Perseverative thinking was evaluated. A proposed neurovisceral model suggests that the relative sympathetic activation seen in perseverative thinking may represent dis-inhibition due to compromised negative feedback mechanisms.
