Respiration-entrained brain rhythms are global but often overlooked

ABL Tort, J Brankačk, A Draguhn - Trends in neurosciences, 2018 - cell.com
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 …

Temporal relations between cortical network oscillations and breathing frequency during REM sleep

ABL Tort, M Hammer, J Zhang, J Brankačk… - Journal of …, 2021 - jneurosci.org
Nasal breathing generates a rhythmic signal which entrains cortical network oscillations in
widespread brain regions on a cycle-to-cycle time scale. It is unknown, however, how …

[HTML][HTML] Diazepam effects on local cortical neural activity during sleep in mice

LE McKillop, SP Fisher, L Milinski, LB Krone… - Biochemical …, 2021 - Elsevier
GABA-ergic neurotransmission plays a key role in sleep regulatory mechanisms and in brain

Theta-gamma coupling during REM sleep depends on breathing rate

M Hammer, C Schwale, J Brankačk, A Draguhn… - Sleep, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Temporal coupling between theta and gamma oscillations is a hallmark activity pattern of
several cortical networks and becomes especially prominent during REM sleep. In a parallel …

Sleep stage dynamics in neocortex and hippocampus

E Durán, CN Oyanedel, N Niethard, M Inostroza, J Born - Sleep, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Mammalian sleep comprises the stages of slow-wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement
(REM) sleep. Additionally, a transition state is often discriminated which in rodents is termed …

The GABAA receptor modulator zolpidem augments hippocampal-prefrontal coupling during non-REM sleep

F Kersanté, RJ Purple, MW Jones - Neuropsychopharmacology, 2023 - nature.com
