Respiratory sinus arrhythmia: A transdiagnostic biomarker of emotion dysregulation and psychopathology
TP Beauchaine�- Current opinion in psychology, 2015 - Elsevier
Highlights•RSA is a valid and reliable biomarker of emotion regulation capacity in
humans.•Low tonic RSA and excessive RSA reactivity to emotion evocation mark PFC
dysfunction.•Effective cortical regulation of subcortical neural circuits marks psychological
health.In the past two decades, respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA)—an index of
parasympathetic nervous system (PNS)-mediated cardiac control—has emerged as a
reliable peripheral biomarker of emotion regulation (ER). Reduced RSA and excessive RSA�…
