The goal of ki gong-- generally defined as the practice of improving one's own internal energy to improve health and wellness-- include increased flexibility, metabolism and blood circulation, improved balance, musculatory and respiratory control, stress reduction and increased blood oxidation.

Robert Provine, a behavioral neurobiologist at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, believes that the first laugh rang out about 6 million years ago, when hominids first stood upright, a position that allowed for respiratory control and freed the lungs and larynx to laugh.

In pure central sleep apnea, the brain's respiratory control centers, located in the region of the human brain known as the pre-Botzinger complex, are imbalanced during sleep and fail to give the signal to inhale, causing the individual to miss one or more cycles of breathing.

Existing and emerging neuromodulation treatments also include application in medication-resistant epilepsy, chronic head pain conditions, and functional therapy ranging from bladder and bowel or respiratory control to improvement of sensory deficits, such as hearing ( cochlear implants and auditory brainstem implants ) and vision ( retinal implants ).

Thanks to the number of different nuclei located within the pontine tegmentum, it is a region associated with a range of functions including sensory and motor functions ( due to the cranial nuclei and fiber tracts ), control of stages of sleep and levels of arousal and vigilance ( due to the ascending cholinergic systems ), and some aspects of respiratory control.

Through respiratory control reflexes, any small transient fall in ventilation ( A ) leads to a corresponding small rise ( A') in alveolar CO 2 concentration which is sensed by the respiratory control system so that there is a subsequent small compensatory rise in ventilation ( B ) above its steady state level ( S ) that helps restore CO 2 back to its steady state value.
