Winslow used the term nervi sympathici majores for those nerves, which he thought to carry about 'sympathies' and then co ordinate various viscera's functions. His was an anatomical break through, which obscured Willis' 'intercostal nerve' and Vesalius 'cranial nerve'.
The notion was developed among others by John stone who arrived, with the aid of some very accurate anatomical observations, at the problem of the nervous influence on motion and sensitivity of viscera.
By the end of the eighteenth century, it was clear, with Bichat , that what he called 'sympa thetic nervous system' and his pupil Reil, a few years later, 'vegeta tive nervous system ' controlled visceral functions fa vie organique , whereas somatic functions fa vie animafe were under direct control from the brain and spinal cord.
Especially suitable for students, scientists and physicians seeking key information about all aspects of autonomic physiology and pathology in one convenient source, this bood provides up-to-date knowledge about basic and clinical autonomic neuroscience in a format designed to make learning easy.
The Novartis Foundation, originally known as the Ciba Foundation, is well known to scientists and clinicians around the world. However, this view misses to consider the most important ANS function: the maintenance of homeostasis.
This term is used today to define not only the strategies that allow the body proper response to changes in the environment reactive homeostasis , but also temporal mechanisms that allow the body to predict the most likely timing of environmental stimuli predictive homeostasis based on biological rhythms. This book discusses the ANS from both an enlarged and a timed perspective. First, it presents how the organization of the ANS is hierarchical into different levels.
Following that, the book discusses how the ANS changes functionally in the three-body configurations wakefulness, slow sleep, rapid eye movement sleep found in a hour cycle. Finally, the most important clinical implications of this enlarged and timed vision of ANS will be discussed. Autonomic Nervous System — Basic and Clinical Aspects is a comprehensive text intended for medical students and health professionals who are interested in a deeper approach to this important part of the nervous system.
It provides a detailed and complete understanding of the neuroscience behind the ANS, allowing a proper clinical applicability of this knowledge. Balanced functioning of this system is an important basis of our life and well-being.
This book gives a detailed description of the cellular and integrative organization of the autonomic nervous system, covering both peripheral and central aspects. It brings to light modern neurobiological concepts that allow understanding of why the healthy system runs so smoothly and why its deterioration has such disastrous consequences. This academic reference volume will appeal to advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying the neurobiology of the autonomic nervous system within the various biological and medical sciences and will give access to ideas propagated in psychosomatic and alternative medicines.
Each chapter is prepared by an international authority in the diagnosis and treatment of that disorder. The language and terminology are clear enough to promote understanding of the clinical problems and the underlying concepts of basic science. The most recent data, especially that derived from molecular biology, is included in the discussions of relevant diseases. Hence, the volume provides an unparalleled source of information about this area of medicine and will be helpful not just to practising clinicians but also to basic scientists researching in the field who need to familiarize themselves with the clinical problems.

This pattern of findings indicates an important moderation effect of sex in the association of circadian variation patterns with RMSSD and depressive symptoms in a healthy preclinical population. These findings were partly replicated by investigating associations between affective trait measures with circadian variation patterns of RMSSD [55].
It still needs to be explored if the decrement of circadian variation can be partly reversed if symptoms decrease. Here, efferent vagal activity inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines via the release of acetylcholine and has been termed the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway [57—59]. Moreover, the release of interleukin-6 IL-6 and other cytokines triggers the hepatic synthesis of C-reactive protein CRP [60].
In addition, the vagus nerve is also known to relay information about the peripheral immune status to the brain via IL-1 receptors conveyed by paraganglia cells situated in parasympathetic ganglia [61].
Thus, both vagal efferent and afferent pathways seem to play an important role in immune regulation. We previously demonstrated that decreased vagally mediated HRV at baseline predicted increased low-grade systemic inflammation a marker of CHD risk after 4 years in healthy working adults [19]. The circadian variation pattern of RMSSD shows an association with systemic low-grade inflammation [62].
Low- grade inflammation was measured by high-sensitive C-reactive protein hsCRP. Circadian variation in groups with different systemic inflammation levels as defined by the American Heart Association AHA.
In the present study, lower MESOR and higher amplitude were associated with elevated levels of low-grade inflammation see Figure 5. Examples of 24 h HRV patterns in practical application 4. At the same time, disturbances of circadian rhythms have been described in depression [64]. A 24 h measurement of HRV can help to detect the degree of disturbance that has already occurred. Furthermore, it supports recovery by identifying resources that can be enhanced and strengthened.
Recovery from a chronobiologic point of view includes not only reduction in, e. Repeated measurements can document the process of recovery and the effect of interventions. Considering these points, a 24 h measurement of HRV could prove itself as a helpful psychophysiological tool in a psychotherapeutic setting. However, to the best of our knowledge, 24 h HRV was not yet implemented in this kind of set- ting.
The psychosomatic consultation at the workplace is a service of the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy at Ulm University Medical Center Germany and has been described in detail elsewhere [65]. In brief, it is open to employees who receive an early consultation by a doctor or a psychologist specialized in psychotherapy for all personnel reporting psychic e.
Displayed are heart rate and spectral analyses. It comprises two parts—the diagnostic phase max. The study took place at a large center for disabled care in Germany. HRV was measured after the first sessions and the results were discussed with the patients in the second or third session.
All patients that continued the sessions received a second 24 h HRV measurement at the end of the intervention marker of change. The study also covered disturbances of the hypothalamic pitu- itary adrenal HPA axis by collecting eight saliva samples for a cortisol day profile. Recruitment was completed in May , but repeated measurements are still ongoing, so final statistical analyses will be reported later.
Here, we want to present a case with a major depressive episode. A year-old man presented with depressed mood, diminished interest in all activities, fatigue, problems to concentrate at work, and sleeping disturbances with problems falling asleep, waking up in the middle of the night and in the morning, and lying awake for a longer time.
He also complained about restlessness which had become better by starting medication with olanzapine 2. Twenty-four hour HRV analyses revealed a pronounced overall reduction in variability as well as a reduced night-day variation see Figure 6. At night, vagal indices normally increase. His chronobiologic rhythms are obviously disrupted to a greater extent on the basis of an overall reduc- tion in variability that does not allow much variation throughout the day.
The patient reported that at this time, he sat down in his garden and could enjoy the air and the birds singing for a while. The symptoms aggravated in the following 2 weeks so that he was transferred to a hospital with psychiatric inpatient care.
Table 1. HRV indices of a patient with major depression. First, we want to show a healthy example with intact chronobiol- ogy and after that an example out of the mentioned study with clear disturbances.
The first example shows the measurement results of a year-old woman. The medical history contained no diagnoses, no medication, normal weight, and normal blood pressure. She complaint feeling tired in the morn- ing and sometimes during the day but reported falling asleep easily in the evening and sleeping well. Scores for irritation and depression showed low values, while the stress scale showed intermediate values, where she was reporting work piling up.
In spectral analyses, the nighttime is easily detected by a specific pattern inside the HF power band which represents respiratory sinus arrhythmia RSA. In this healthy example, RSA is present almost throughout the whole night, with changing patterns in the LF power band as it is typical for sleep cycles.
This is an example of well-functioning chronobiology. The daytime also shows variability with different patterns, e. He also had no diagnosed diseases and reported no medication. Weight and blood pressure were unobtrusive. His complaints were only some back pain from time to time.
No depressive or anxious symptoms were present. In the spectral analyses Figure 8 , the typical RSA pattern at night is missing.
Though heart rate decreased at night, all HRV parameters, especially vagal values, were reduced at night, which is an inverted state. Heart rate did not return to baseline for 2 h, which indicates overtraining. The first hours of sleep show reduced variability in all power bands, a pattern that stands for exhaustion.
Allover, chronobiologic rhythms are markedly dis- turbed, though HRV indices are still higher than in the example with major depression. The consultation revealed a highly ambitious personality who was used to well- functioning of his body all of the time and who a mostly postpones the needs of his body in order to solve a problem on the job or to win the game at sports.
The graph helped to intriguingly demonstrate to the manager the impact of what he is doing to his body and motivated him to learn to perceive when he reaches his limits as well as to hold on to his limit and not try to overachieve.

Conclusion HRV as a chronobiologic, disease-unspecific biomarker holds the possibility to become a screening tool in preventive settings as well as a tool to monitor overall health status, e. This could be beneficial to persons usually not so open to talk about feelings and thus pave the way into a conversation about psychosomatic interactions.
Thus, its psy- chophysiological nature mirroring somatic as well as mental states implies HRV as a well-suited psychosomatic marker. Its usefulness in these settings should be further explored.
