Schwimmbeck, Fabian; Bullón Tarrasó, Esteban und Schreiner, Thomas (April 2025): A role for respiration in coordinating sleep oscillations and memory consolidation. In: Trends in Neurosciences, Bd. 48, Nr. 4: S. 247-249

Abstract

Memory consolidation is thought to rely on the interplay of sleep-related brain oscillations. Drawing on recent findings that highlight the influence of respiration on these rhythms, we outline a framework positioning respiration as pacemaker for sleep’s memory function. By orchestrating the cardinal non-rapid eye movement (NREM) oscillations, namely slow oscillations, spindles, and sharp wave-ripples, respiration may coordinate the hippocampo-cortical crosstalk essential for memory consolidation.
