The beautiful thing is that these neurons that also control deceleration of heart rate are active in the background. They're under autonomic control, but you can take control of them.
The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Nucleus ambiguus contains some neurons that project down to what's called the sinoatrial node of the heart, and those neurons are responsible for deceleration of heart rate.
They release acetylcholine, and they act on the sinoatrial node, which is a node within the heart that controls heart rate to slow your heart rate down, okay?
