Previous research has found that good health is tied to flexibility in multiple bodily systems, with reduced variability signalling poor health. Depression and anxiety are found to correlate with lower heart rate variability (HRV), suggesting reduced …
Autonomic variations such as changes in heart rate variability (HRV) have been found in both clinical and non-clinical populations of either depression or anxiety and are maintained across the lifespan. Areas in the brain such as the cingulate …
The cingulate cortex (CC) is at the centre of networks such as the default mode network, salience network, and the dorsal attention networks that are implicated in cognitive ageing. Lower heart rate variability has also been linked to ageing and …
