Sensing internal bodily signals, or interoception, is fundamental to maintain life. However,
interoception should not be viewed as an isolated domain, as it interacts with exteroception …

Voluntary slow breathing (VSB) is used as a prevention technique to support physical and
mental health, given it is suggested to influence the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) …

Controlled breathwork practices have emerged as potential tools for stress management
and well-being. Here, we report a remote, randomized, controlled study (NCT05304000) of …

Respiration is a brain function on which our lives essentially depend. Control of respiration
ensures that the frequency and depth of breathing adapt continuously to metabolic needs. In …

Breathing is a vital rhythmic motor behavior with a surprisingly broad influence on the brain
and body. The apparent simplicity of breathing belies a complex neural control system, the …

Network dynamics have been proposed as a mechanistic substrate for the information
transfer across cortical and hippocampal circuits. However, little is known about the …

Coughing is a respiratory behavior that plays a crucial role in protecting the respiratory
system. Here we show that the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) in mice contains …

Interoceptive pathways may be manipulated at various levels to develop interventions to
improve symptoms in a range of disorders. Primarily through the lens of the respiratory …

Respiratory drive, the intensity of the respiratory center's output, determines the effort
exerted in each breath. The increasing awareness of the adverse effects of both strong and …

Arrest of ongoing movements is an integral part of executing motor programs. Behavioral
arrest may happen upon termination of a variety of goal-directed movements or as a global …
