文摘

The polyvagal theory sustains that vagal activity regulates heart rate and facial expression. We explored the association of non-verbal behaviors (NVBs) with HRV in 50 depressed patients. Positive NVBs were associated with increased vagal activity in depression. Negative NVBs were not associated with HRV in depression. NVBs and vagal activity are depression endophenotypes that are related.
