    Author(s): Spyros C. Champi*, Harry M. Wilson, Marios Kantaris, Ioanna Yiasemi and Ioanna Taliadorou

    Individuals reactivity to stress is an important factor in the progression to Problem Gambling (PG). Stress responses are under tonic inhibitory control via Prefrontal Cortex (PFC) areas. Attenuation of PFC activity, via the Basolateral Amygdala (BLA), leads to disinhibition of the Central Nucleus of the Amygdala (CeA) that activates stress responses also associated with impaired decision-making and excessive risk-taking. Vagally mediated Heart Rate Variability (VmHRV) can assimilate the abovementioned mechanism which leads to excessive, suboptimal risk-taking, and thus, elevated risk for PG. With the aforementioned in mind, the present pilot study examined whether Vagally mediated Heart Rate Variability (VmHRV) can stratify the risk for the development of Problem Gambling (PG). One hundred and ninety individuals from professional populations at high risk for acute a.. Read More»
