The neurovisceral integration model (Thayer, J. F., & Lane, R. D., 2000, A model of neurovisceral integration in emotion regulation and dysregulation. Journal of Affective Disorders, 61, 201-216. doi:10.1016/S0165-0327(00)00338-4) proposes that individual differences in heart rate variability (HRV)-an index of cardiac vagal tone-are associated with attentional and emotional self-regulation. In this article, we demonstrate that individual differences in resting HRV predict the functioning of the…

This research suggests that cardiac vagal tone is associated with more adaptive top-down and bottom-up modulation of emotional attention, and implications for various affective disorders, including depression, anxiety disorders, and posttraumatic stress disorder are discussed.

Results provide further evidence that the difficulty in attentional control associated with reduced cardiac vagal tone may extend to a broader social and moral context and initial evidence that fair-related social information influences spatial attention.

When tonic cardiac vagal tone predicts changes in phasic vagal tone: the role of fear and perceptual load.
- PsychologyPsychophysiology

Current research suggests that tonic cardiac vagal tone is associated with the ability to flexibly adapt autonomic responses, suggesting greater self-regulatory effort under low load and an absence of phasic HRV suppression under high load.
Cardiac vagal tone is correlated with selective attention to neutral distractors under load.

The current research suggests cardiac vagal tone is associated with successful control of selective attention critical for goal-directed behavior, and its impact is greater when fewer cognitive resources are available.

The hyperactive neural activity associated with low cardiac vagal tone may account for hypervigilant response patterns and emotional dysregulation, which heightens the risk of developing physical and emotional problems.
