Autonomic balance

چکیده
The relationship between mind and body, in particular the autonomic nervous system (ANS), has been explored for many years. Cannon’s paper (1914) “The interrelations of emotions as suggested by recent physiological researches”, reviewed the literature on the physiology of emotions from 1892-1914. In the 1920’s, Cannon further elucidated the relative contribution of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous systems (PNS) to homeostasis (a term he coined). And, as there remains today, there was some dispute about the relative contribution of these two subsystems of the ANS to autonomic balance. Cannon (1930) placed a strong emphasis on the role of the sympathetic nervous system. Kling (1933), on the other hand argued that the parasympathetic system had important role in emotion, which had been largely ignored by Cannon and others.

Modulation of autonomic balance by tumors and viruses.
Autonomic balance, a function generally under host control, is subject to modulation by other signalers. In some cases, modulation of host autonomic function through behavioral and physical stressors exerted by another individual may have negative consequences for the stress recipient by inducing sympathetic bias. Modulation of autonomic function may sometimes benefit one party at the expense o...
متن کاملAutonomic correlates at rest and during evoked attention in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and effects of methylphenidate.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess autonomic nervous system functioning in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and to examine the effects of methylphenidate and focussed attention. METHOD Children with ADHD (n = 19) were tested while they were stimulant free and during a period in which they were on stimulants. On both occasions, autonomic nervous system f...
متن کاملTime-Related Heart Vegetative Balance Characteristics in Healthy Subjects
Changes of the heart autonomic balance between morning (8 to 9 h) and afternoon (14 – 15 h) measurements were studied in 22 healthy subjects. The selection of these two daytime periods was substantiated by the established higher risk of cardiovascular incidents in the morning and the relative balance of the vegetative nervous system in the afternoon hours. The changes were analyzed by RRvariabi...
متن کاملCardiac Autonomic Imbalance in Newly Diagnosed and Established Diabetes Is Associated with Markers of Adipose Tissue Inflammation
INTRODUCTION Diabetics die from cardiovascular disease at a much greater rate than nondiabetics. Cardiac autonomic imbalance predicts increased cardiovascular risk and mortality. We studied the relationship between cardiac autonomic imbalance and adipose tissue-derived inflammation in newly diagnosed and established type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Non-diabetics, newly diagnosed diabeti...
متن کاملDynamics of spectral components of heart rate variability during changes in autonomic balance.
Frequency domain analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) has been proposed as a semiquantitative method for assessing activities in the autonomic nervous system. We examined whether absolute powers, normalized powers, and the low frequency-to-high frequency ratio (LF/HF) derived from the HRV power spectrum could detect shifts in autonomic balance in a setting with low sympathetic nervous tone....
متن کاملEvaluation of a Selected Balance Training on Physiological, Motor and Balance Performance in Patients with Parkinson's disease
Background and purpose: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system which leads to slowness of movement, tremor, postural instability, reduced balance, and autonomic nervous system disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of selected balance training on physiological, motor and balance performance in patients with PD. Material...
