There is wide variability of individual response which can be explained by the magnitude of absolute basal vagal tone.
What produced these wide ranges of variation in response to vagal stimulation?
Suppression of vagal tone was characterized by a decrease in vagal activity between baseline and stressor conditions.
Cohesive family was also not found to interact significantly with basal vagal tone in predicting positive conversation.
The relationship between hostile -withdrawn coparenting and positive peer conversation was also moderated by children's ability to suppress vagal tone.
However, for children with higher vagal tone, the relationship between marital hostility and negative outcomes was not observed.
However, for children who were able to suppress vagal tone, no such relationship was observed.
At all age ranges considered, vagal tone marks competent emotional expression and active engagement with the environment.
However, they showed lower vagal tone than village boys, and higher mean cortisol levels than both squatter and village boys.
Thus, the vagal system appears to reflect attentional and emotional processes.
How might the vagal system mediate such outcomes?
When group differences have been found, panic disorder patients have exhibited greater vagal reactivity than depressed patients, anxiety disordered patients, or controls.
In the sections to follow, polyvagal theory will be briefly outlined, and the literature regarding vagal tone and vagal reactivity reviewed, from infancy through adulthood.
Significant differences emerged between groups on measures of disconnected play and the suppression of vagal tone.
Neural crest cells are a migratory population of embryonic cells that give rise to four distinct rostrocaudal populations (cranial, vagal, trunk and sacral).
