Abstract：
Respiration protocols have been developed to manipulate mental states, including their use for therapeutic purposes. In this systematic review, we discuss evidence that respiration may play a fundamental role in coordinating neural activity, behavior, and emotion. The main findings are: (1) respiration affects the neural activity of a wide variety of regions in the brain; (2) respiration modulates different frequency ranges in the brain\'s dynamics; (3) different respiration protocols (spontaneous, hyperventilation, slow or resonance respiration) yield different neural and mental effects; and (4) the effects of respiration on the brain are related to concurrent modulation of biochemical (oxygen delivery, pH) and physiological (cerebral blood flow, heart rate variability) variables. We conclude that respiration may be an integral rhythm of the brain\'s neural activity. This provides an intimate connection of respiration with neuro-mental features like emotion. A respiratory-neuro-mental connection holds the promise for a brain-based therapeutic usage of respiration in mental disorders.
摘要：
已经开发了呼吸协议来操纵精神状态，包括它们用于治疗目的。在这次系统审查中，我们讨论了呼吸可能在协调神经活动中起基本作用的证据，行为，和情感。主要发现是：（1）呼吸影响大脑中各种区域的神经活动；（2）呼吸调节大脑动力学的不同频率范围；（3）不同的呼吸协议（自发，换气过度,缓慢或共振呼吸）产生不同的神经和精神效应；（4）呼吸对大脑的影响与生化（氧气输送，pH）和生理（脑血流量，心率变异性)变量。我们得出的结论是，呼吸可能是大脑神经活动的整体节律。这提供了呼吸与情绪等神经心理特征的紧密联系。呼吸-神经-心理联系有望在精神障碍中进行基于大脑的呼吸治疗。
