Abstract:
Understanding which brain areas are associated with autonomic function has important clinical implications. Previous research was limited to small samples. Aiming for a thorough and large replication, we investigated n = 1,218 healthy subjects in a pooled mega‐analysis. We found unique associations between vagal activity and cortical thickness of frontal brain areas. It is suggested that greater integrity of prefrontal brain areas may be vital for the maintenance of adaptive autonomic nervous system activity in aging.
