Breathwork and Flow: How Breathing Prepares the Brain and Body for Peak Performance Flow Research Collective 2024-09-05 | In this episode of Flow Radio, we explore the intricate science of breathing with Dr. Jack Feldman, a world-renowned neuroscientist.Dr. Feldman, a professor at UCLA, has spent decades uncovering the secrets of how our brains control this vital function. His pioneering research has led to groundbreaking discoveries, such as identifying and naming a key brain area responsible for breathing rhythms.Tune in as Dr. Feldman, along with bestselling author Steven Kotler and Dr. Michael Mannino, break down:The neuroscience behind how we breatheThe connection between breathwork and emotional healthWhy understanding breathing is crucial for peak performanceWhether you’re curious about the science of breathing or looking for ways to improve your life, this episode is full of easy-to-understand insights and practical tips. In This Episode:00:02 Introducing a Legend03:32 Evolution of Breathing in Mammals07:41 The Role of the Diaphragm in Breathing10:58 Understanding Sighs: A Physiological and Emotional Perspective15:21 The Evolutionary Advantage of Calming Sighs19:00 Breathing Rhythms and Brain Function22:27 Disrupting Neural Circuits for Mental Health25:45 Breathwork and Synaptic Plasticity30:55 The Connection Between Endorphins and Breathwork42:05 The Link Between Breathing and Flow StatesAbout The Guest:Jack Feldman revolutionized our understanding of basic physiological processes controlled by the brain by identifying and characterizing brain sites critical for breathing. He discovered two discrete brain structures critical for regulating breathing. Combining cutting edge techniques, development of new experimental preparations, and expertise in a range of disciplines, Jack identified several critical breathing functions originating in these brain areas including generation of inspiratory (i.e., inhaling) and expiratory (i.e., exhaling) patterns for normal breathing and for sighing. Most recently, Jack and his colleagues investigated mechanisms by which changes in breathing patterns (e.g., breathing practice) can affect emotion and cognition. His research continues to explore how the brain controls breathing, paving the way for further clinically relevant discoveries of mechanisms underlying breathing-related diseases, including sleep apnea, neurodegenerative diseases, and the positive effects of breathing practice on emotion. Jack is a recipient of the Hodgkin Huxley Katz Prize, the 125th Faculty Research Lecture UCLA, and the National Institutes of Health Outstanding Investigator Award in 2017 and 2023.Episode Resources:Website:https://bioscience.ucla.edu/people/jack-feldman/https://bioscience.ucla.edu/people/jack-feldman/A Snippet of Jack’s Research: Breathing Rhythm and Pattern and Their Influence on EmotionMicrocircuit Synchronization and Heavy-Tailed Synaptic Weight Distribution Augment preBötzinger Complex Bursting DynamicsEmergent Elements of Inspiratory Rhythmogenesis: Network Synchronization and Synchrony PropagationFlow Radio Is Presented By Flow Research CollectiveAre you an entrepreneur, a leader, or a knowledge worker, who wants to harness the power of flow so you can get more done in less time with greater ease and accomplish your boldest professional goals faster?
