Breathing rhythms and emotions

Abstract: Respiration is primarily regulated for metabolic and homeostatic purposes in the brainstem. However, breathing can also change in response to changes in emotions, such as sadness, happiness, anxiety or fear. Final respiratory output is influenced by a complex interaction between the brainstem and higher centres, including the limbic system and cortical structures. Respiration is important in maintaining physiological homeostasis and co-exists with emotions. In this review, we focus on the relationship between … Show more

“…2.13) as well as their complexity we found, in accordance to previous findings [102,105,106]. Homma et al [107] stated that the final respiratory output involves a complex interaction between the brainstem and higher centers, including the limbic system and cortical structures. Respiration is primarily regulated for metabolic and homeostatic purposes in the brainstem and also changes in response to changes in emotions, such as sadness, happiness, anxiety or fear.…”

“…Investigations were performed between 15.00 and 18.00 in a quiet room which was kept comfortably warm (22)(23)(24) • C) and began after subjects had rested in the supine position for 10 min. Subjects were asked to relax and to breathe normally to avoid hyperventilation.…”

“…This network originates within the interconnected bilateral columns of the medullary neurons as well as in the ventral respiratory columns and is controlled by inputs from other medullary structures, including the retrotrapezoid nucleus, raphe nuclei and other rostral pontine circuits [15]. Given that respiration is primarily regulated for metabolic and homeostatic purposes in the brainstem but also constantly responds to changes in emotions, such as sadness, anxiety or fear [22], it seems that psychotic states of schizophrenic patients will have a major impact on the cardiorespiratory system. The interactions within the cardiorespiratory system are mainly expressed as respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA).…”
