Breathing and Brain Activity are Deeply Connected and Actually Influence Each Other.Temporal Relations between Cortical Network Oscillations and Breathing Frequency during REM Sleep. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8211551/
Short‑term stress is adaptive . It can enhance immune function, mental/physical performance and resilience, whereas chronic stress is maladaptive, suppressing systems and degrading performance. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5964013/
Breathing Modulates Network Activity in Frontal Brain Regions during Anxiety. Research reveals how anxiety alters breathing patterns and how these changes influence brain activity, offering new possibilities for targeted, breath-based interventions. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11714350/
Psychosocial Stress during First Pregnancy Predicts Infant illness. Maternal prenatal stress is associated with increased maternal reporting of infant illness, as well as increased frequency of both urgent care visits and emergency department visits.

The impact of mouth breathing on dento-facial development. Mouth breathing alters facial structure, disrupts saliva’s protective roles, increases dental and gum disease risk, affects jaw joint development, and may contribute to broader oral health problems. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9498581/#s5
Inclusion of a rest period in diaphragmatic breathing increases high frequency heart rate variability, Implications for behavioral therapy: Diaphragmatic breathing as a method to increase HRV, particularly high-frequency HRV , which is commonly associated with parasympathetic activity, vagal regulation, and self-regulatory capacity: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/psyp.12791
