A novel brain mechanism mediating the inhibition of the critical breathing muscles during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep has been identified for the first time in a new study, offering the possibility ...

Two pacemakers in the brain work together in harmony to ensure that breathing occurs in a regular rhythm, according to new research. That cooperation provides critical backup during respiratory stress ...

Breathing is a vital action, so automatic that we forget about it. However, to produce speech, breathing must be modulated to synchronize exhalation with the rhythm of conversation. In an article ...

LMU neuroscientists have shown that breathing coordinates neuronal activity throughout the brain during sleep and quiet. While we sleep, the brain is not switched off, but is busy with “saving” the ...

Scientists from Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, have discovered how the brain controls our breathing in response to changing oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood. The control of breathing is ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have discovered a fundamental mechanism that affects the size of the pupil, ...

Scientists have discovered how the brain controls our breathing in response to changing oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood. Scientists from Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, have discovered ...

Researchers at Trinity College Dublin have uncovered a neurophysiological link between respiration and cognition, offering a fascinating anatomical explanation behind the long-held connection between ...
