• How Breath-Control Can Change Your Life: A Systematic Review on Psycho-Physiological Correlates of Slow Breathing (2018, background): “Slow breathing techniques seem to promote a predominance of the parasympathetic autonomic system with respect to the sympathetic one, mediated by the vagal activity (Streeter et al., 2012; Brown et al., 2013).”
• YOGA FOR DEPRESSION: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META‐ANALYSIS (2013, background): “[25] Other central neurotransmitters such as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) have also been shown to be involved in depression.[26, 27] There is preliminary evidence from imaging studies that yoga practice can increase endogenous dopamine release in the ventral striatum[28] and thalamic GABA levels.”
• Vagus Nerve as Modulator of the Brain–Gut Axis in Psychiatric and Inflammatory Disorders (2018, background): “The proposed neurophysiological mechanisms for the success of yogabased therapies in alleviating depressive symptoms suggest that yoga breathing induces increased vagal tone (139).”
