Now scientists describe why deep breathing, including the
breath-focus of meditation, can induce such calm and
tranquility. In a paper published in Science, researchers
led by Mark Krasnow, a professor of biochemistry at Stanford
University, found that in mice, a group of nerves in the brain
that regulates breathing has a direct connection to the arousal
center of the brain. In other words, breathing can have a direct
effect on the overall activity level of the brain./.../
