Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The neurovisceral integration hypothesis suggests in part that cerebral control of autonomic function conveys comparable control of executive function and, hence, correlation among vagally determined high frequency heart rate variability (HF‐HRV), executive function, and regional cerebral blood flow (CBF). In 440 middle‐aged men and women, resting HF‐HRV was related to regional CBF derived from a resting arterial spin‐labeled MRI scan and to seven neuropsychological tests of executive function. Despite some intercorrelations, regression modeling failed to support integrated central control of HF‐HRV and executive function. Integration between autonomic and cognitive control appears more circumscribed than the general integration suggested by the neurovisceral integration hypothesis.
