Sensing internal bodily signals, or interoception, is fundamental to maintain life. However,
interoception should not be viewed as an isolated domain, as it interacts with exteroception …

Long-COVID is a postviral illness that can affect survivors of COVID-19, regardless of initial
disease severity or age. Symptoms of long-COVID include fatigue, dyspnea, gastrointestinal …

Respiration is a brain function on which our lives essentially depend. Control of respiration
ensures that the frequency and depth of breathing adapt continuously to metabolic needs. In …

Breathing is a well-described, vital and surprisingly complex behaviour, with behavioural
and physiological outputs that are easy to directly measure. Key neural elements for …

Breathing is a vital rhythmic motor behavior with a surprisingly broad influence on the brain
and body. The apparent simplicity of breathing belies a complex neural control system, the …

Overdose deaths are often viewed as the leading edge of the opioid epidemic which has
gripped the United States over the past two decades (Skolnick, 2018a). This emphasis is …

Many biological and neural systems can be seen as networks of interacting periodic
processes. Importantly, their functionality, ie, whether these networks can perform their …

Central oscillators are primordial neural circuits that generate and control rhythmic
movements,. Mechanistic understanding of these circuits requires genetic identification of …

The need to breathe links the mammalian olfactory system inextricably to the respiratory
rhythms that draw air through the nose. In rodents and other small animals, slow oscillations …

The central autonomic network (CAN) is an integral component of an internal regulation
system through which the brain controls visceromotor, neuroendocrine, pain, and behavioral …
