Abstract This Committee Report provides methodological, interpretive, and reporting
guidance for researchers who use measures of heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability …

With age, parasympathetic activity decreases, while sympathetic activity increases. Thus, the
typical older adult has low heart rate variability (HRV) and high noradrenaline levels …

BACKGROUND: The phrase complete vagal withdrawal is often used when discussing
autonomic control of the heart during exercise. However, more recent studies have …

Microneurographic recordings of the human cervical vagus nerve have revealed the
presence of multi‐unit neural activity with measurable cardiac rhythmicity. This suggests that …

Increased sympathetic and reduced parasympathetic nerve activity is associated with
disease progression and poor outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure. The …

In our original white paper published in the The Journal of Physiology in 2016, we set out
our knowledge of the structural and functional organization of cardiac autonomic control …

Insomnia is a sleep disorder which severely affects patients mood, quality of life and social
functioning, serves as a trigger or risk factor to a variety of diseases such as depression …

The vagus nerve (VN) plays an important role in regulating physiological conditions in the
gastrointestinal (GI) tract by communicating via the parasympathetic pathway to the enteric …

Objective. Bioelectronic medicine is an emerging field that aims at developing closed-loop
neuromodulation protocols for the autonomic nervous system (ANS) to treat a wide range of …

This article explains the comprehensive state of the art assessment of sympathetic (SNA)
and vagal nerve activity recordings in humans and highlights the precise mechanisms …
