Willingness to Communicate in the Second Language: Understanding the Decision to Speak as a Volitional Process (2007, background): “…of the volitional approach advocated in this article is the potential to integrate more fully physiological and, in particular, neurobiological (see Porges, 2003; Porges, 2007; Schumann et al., 2004) processes into theories of L2 communication (see also Beatty & McCroskey, 1998; Beatty, McCroskey…”
Brain mediators of cardiovascular responses to social threat, Part I: Reciprocal dorsal and ventral sub-regions of the medial prefrontal cortex and heart-rate reactivity (2009, background): “The brain systems that regulate the various organ systems of the body have evolved from survival-related brainstem circuits, but also include cortical and subcortical systems central to social and emotional processes (Bandler & Shipley, 1994; Craig, 2003; Porges, 2003).”
Reassessing Emotion Regulation (2008, background): “Pathways of the parasympathetic nervous system in particular are implicated in these processes and, consequently, play a key role in the regulation of state, motor activity, and emotion (Porges, 2003).”
Heart rate variability as a measure of autonomic regulation of cardiac activity for assessing stress and welfare in farm animals -- a review. (2007, background): “Porges [84] defines homeostasis as an autonomous state which enhances visceral functions and is characterised by increased vagal activity.”
Arousal at encoding, arousal at retrieval, interviewer support, and children's memory for a mild stressor (2007, background): “The magnitude of change in children’s autonomic responses between a baseline event and stressor is taken as an index of their stress response (Boyce et al., 2001; Boyce & Jemerin, 1990; Porges, 2003).”
Effects of yoga on the autonomic nervous system, gamma-aminobutyric-acid, and allostasis in epilepsy, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. (2012, background): “Myelinated vagal efferent fibers from the NA serve as the vagal brake, which enables rapid control of heart rate (HR) by increasing vagal tone to reduce HR and blood pressure or decreasing vagal tone to accelerate heart rate [41].”
Feeling safe and content: A specific affect regulation system? Relationship to depression, anxiety, stress, and self-criticism (2008, background): “This work distinguishes ‘activating, seeking and doing’ positive affect from ‘contentment and social safeness’ (Carter, 1998; Depue & Morrone-Strupinsky, 2005; Panksepp, 1998; Porges, 2003, 2007).”
The role of emotion regulation in children's early academic success. (2007, background): “The modulation of arousal required by emotion regulation has been hypothesized to affect children's social relationships by facilitating an organism's ability to engage and disengage with the environment (Porges, 2003).”
Positive and negative emotional attractors and intentional change (2006, background): “Based on new research discoveries, polyvagal theory ( Porges, 1988”
