Abstract
Summary Significant individual differences in autonomic function as measured by reflex vasodilatation and reflex pupillary dilatation to sound has been demonstrated in newborn infants. The implications of these findings for concepts in psychosomatic medicine is presented. This and other studies indicate that it is no longer tenable to hold the view that infants are physiologically vagotonic.Keywords
