Vagal tone refers to the activity of the vagus nerve, which is a major component of the parasympathetic nervous system. The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate. Vagal tone is often measured by heart rate variability (HRV), which indicates how much the time interval between heartbeats varies.
