Background: The psycho-physiological changes in brain-body interaction observed in most
of meditative and relaxing practices rely on voluntary slowing down of breath frequency …

Various cognitive functions have long been known to require the hippocampus. Recently,
progress has been made in identifying the hippocampal neural activity patterns that …

Network dynamics have been proposed as a mechanistic substrate for the information
transfer across cortical and hippocampal circuits. However, little is known about the …

We revisit recent evidence showing that nasal respiration entrains oscillations at the same
frequency as breathing in several regions of the rodent brain. Moreover, respiration …

Brain–body interactions are thought to be essential in emotions but their physiological basis
remains poorly understood. In mice, regular 4 Hz breathing appears during freezing after …

Respiratory rhythms sustain biological life, governing the homeostatic exchange of oxygen
and carbon dioxide. Until recently, however, the influence of breathing on the brain has …

The mammalian olfactory bulb displays a prominent respiratory rhythm, which is linked to the
sniff cycle and is driven by sensory input from olfactory receptors in the nasal sensory …

Slow brain oscillations are usually coherent over long distances and thought to link
distributed cell assemblies. In mice, theta (5–10 Hz) stands as one of the most studied slow …

In spite of its importance as a life-defining rhythmic movement and its constant rhythmic
contraction and relaxation of the body, respiration has not received attention in Embodied …

During mammalian evolution, primate neocortex expanded, shifting hippocampal functional
networks away from primary sensory cortices, towards association cortices. Reflecting this …
