Breathing rhythmically coordinates neural oscillations across the brain, yet how the breathing mode (nasal vs. oral) modulates large-scale functional networks over time remains unclear. Building on prior static connectivity findings, this study applied dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) analysis....

Slow breathing impacts inter-organ dynamics modulating brain function and risk behavior

Huang et al. show that prolonged exhalation increases risky decisions by enhancing reward sensitivity and cardiac parasympathetic activity. Individuals with greater parasympathetic upregulation exhibit stronger reward-related responses in the vmPFC and precuneus, revealing a neurovisceral pathway li...

Looking forward to working with this future champion on Monday morning. Golf is a mental battle and we can shut down negative thoughts between shots through mindful breathwork. By creating strong pre game, pre shot routines and building in-game anchors athletes remain locked in the moment to succeed!! One can only affect a future outcome if they remain present for the moment.
