One reason for that may be that breathing is performing a careful task: coordinating brain waves that are related to memory." The study is titled "Breathing orchestrates synchronization of sleep ...

This is the first time breathing rhythms during sleep have been linked to these hippocampal brain waves -; called slow waves, spindles and ripples -; in humans. Scientists knew these waves were ...

A new study reveals that breathing acts as a conductor, coordinating brain waves during sleep to consolidate memories. Researchers found that slow spindle brain waves in the hippocampus ...

Just as a conductor coordinates different instruments in an orchestra to produce a symphony, breathing coordinates hippocampal brain waves to strengthen memory while we sleep, reports a new ...
