The rhythm of memory: how breathing shapes memory function

DH Heck, R Kozma, LM Kay - Journal of neurophysiology, 2019 - journals.physiology.org
The mammalian olfactory bulb displays a prominent respiratory rhythm, which is linked to the

Selective entrainment of gamma subbands by different slow network oscillations

W Zhong, M Ciatipis, T Wolfenstetter… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
Theta oscillations (4–12 Hz) are thought to provide a common temporal reference for the

Human hippocampal connectivity is stronger in olfaction than other sensory systems

G Zhou, JK Olofsson, MZ Koubeissi, G Menelaou… - Progress in …, 2021 - Elsevier
During mammalian evolution, primate neocortex expanded, shifting hippocampal functional

[HTML][HTML] Hippocampal sharp-wave ripples in awake mice are entrained by respiration

Y Liu, SS McAfee, DH Heck - Scientific reports, 2017 - nature.com
Several recent studies have shown that respiration modulates oscillatory neuronal activity in
