AI Article Synopsis
- Breathing significantly influences perception and cognition by controlling neural oscillations, which are brain wave patterns related to various behaviors and mental processes.
- Research shows that respiratory rhythms affect cognitive, emotional, and perceptual outcomes, with observable impacts across different mammalian species.
- This review aims to create a unified framework for understanding how respiratory modulation of brain activity links to psychiatric disorders by exploring computational models of neural oscillations and their related prediction errors.
Article Abstract
Breathing plays a crucial role in shaping perceptual and cognitive processes by regulating the strength and synchronisation of neural oscillations. Numerous studies have demonstrated that respiratory rhythms govern a wide range of behavioural effects across cognitive, affective, and perceptual domains. Additionally, respiratory-modulated brain oscillations have been observed in various mammalian models and across diverse frequency spectra. However, a comprehensive framework to elucidate these disparate phenomena remains elusive. In this review, we synthesise existing findings to propose a neural gradient of respiratory-modulated brain oscillations and examine recent computational models of neural oscillations to map this gradient onto a hierarchical cascade of precision-weighted prediction errors. By deciphering the computational mechanisms underlying respiratory control of these processes, we can potentially uncover new pathways for understanding the link between respiratory-brain coupling and psychiatric disorders.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiorespiratory signals, previously considered noise in fMRI research, are now recognized for their potential insights into brain function and health.
- These signals, including heart rate variability and respiratory patterns, reflect the interaction between cardiovascular, respiratory, and neural systems that support brain activity.
- Understanding these signals can improve fMRI data interpretation, highlighting the connections between heart, brain, and overall physiological health.

Article Synopsis
- Breathing regulates the exchange of gases in our body, but its effects on the brain have been largely ignored until recently.
- New research shows that breathing rhythms significantly influence our perception, emotions, and thinking by affecting brain activity patterns.
- The proposed model suggests that our breath can enhance brain function and suggests new approaches to understanding mental health issues related to breathing and awareness of internal body signals.
