Question

Did you know? The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve, running from brainstem to abdomen, and controls 80% of our parasympathetic ("rest and digest") responses — heartbeat, digestion, inflammation. It is increasingly central to mental-health therapy.

Accepted Answer

The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve, running from brainstem to abdomen, and controls 80% of our parasympathetic ("rest and digest") responses — heartbeat, digestion, inflammation. It is increasingly central to mental-health therapy.

De vagus-zenuw is de langste hersenzenuw, loopt van de hersenstam tot in de buik en regelt 80% van onze parasympatische ("rust en herstel") reacties — hartslag, vertering, ontsteking. Hij wordt steeds belangrijker in mentale-gezondheidstherapie.
