“…Experimental models in rodents , as well as clinical , Critchley, Mathias et al 2003, Woo, Macey et al 2003, Woo, Yadav et al 2014, and observational studies in humans , indicate that several cortical sites modulate autonomic cardiovascular control. In fact, cognitive (Critchley, Mathias et al 2003, Critchley, Wiens et al 2004, Critchley, Rotshtein et al 2005, Critchley, Nagai et al 2011) and autonomic network regions (Cechetto and appear to overlap in critical cortical sites including the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), hippocampus (HC), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and insula cortex (IC) , Soufer, Bremner et al 1998, Gianaros, Derbyshire et al 2005.…”
