Displaying the autonomic processing network in humans – a global tractography approach

The effects of noninvasive brain stimulation on heart rate and heart rate variability: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…Recent research on the neural regulation of the ANS further suggests that brain regions not traditionally defined as part of the CAN (e.g., motor cortex, hippocampus, precuneus, lingual gyrus, etc.) are also involved in its complex interactions, suggesting that a variety of brain regions act as moderators of ANS activity and thus of HR and HRV (Reisert et al, 2021;Sklerov et al, 2019;Valenza et al, 2019).…”

Autonomic dysfunction in SARS-COV-2 infection acute and long-term implications COVID-19 editor’s page series

“…A traditional view of the ANS is based on peripheral responses to rapidly changing environments. A contemporary perspective highlights an equally important role of internal homeostasis as modulated by the central autonomic nervous system (reviewed in Reisert) [ 8 ]. Global tractography determined by diffusion-weighted imaging, positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) performed on participants in the National Institutes of Health Human Connectome Project (launched in 2009 as a Blueprint Grand Challenge ( www.nih.gov accessed May 1, 2021) have broadened our understanding of the ANS and its modulation substantially.…”

“…A detailed analysis of the cortical autonomic network performed by Reisert and colleagues [ 8 ] revealed the following: the cortical autonomic network includes three distinct pathways—the parietal–anterior–temporal, the occipital posterior–temporo–frontal and the limbic pathway contained within the amygdala, hippocampus, and cingulate gyrus.…”

“…One of the oldest university hospitals is the German medical complex of Freiburg. The history of the hospital of the University Clinic of Freiburg, which was established on the basis of the medical faculty of the University of Freiburg named after Albert and Ludwig established in 1457 (Table 3) [30].…”
