The Neuroscience of Breathing Pt.2
26 december 2022 |
55 min
Part two of the Neuroscience of Breathing. Can modulating our breath change our brain behavior? We take a dive into the neural circuitry connecting your breathing centers to higher order regions controlling consciousness and emotion. We also discuss how large scale brain rhythms emerge, and how they're measured.
