Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Karin Joanknecht"
- Karin Joanknecht's recent research focuses on the interplay between heart rate variability (HRV) and neural functioning, particularly in the context of emotion regulation and cognitive reappraisal, highlighting the role of the amygdala and prefrontal cortex.
- Her 2023 study reveals that HRV is linked to functional connectivity in the amygdala during active emotion regulation tasks, extending the Neurovisceral Integration Model by examining task-related dynamics rather than just resting state.
- Additionally, her earlier work in 2021 investigates how age-related decline in executive function correlates with impaired top-down regulation in older adults, suggesting that while emotional processing may remain intact, cognitive functions critical for adaptive responses to negative experiences deteriorate over time.
