And it's not just individual variation: this phase-locking pattern becomes more consistent across the scalp and across individuals in N2, SWS, and REM sleep.

We found that E:I coupling to respiration shifts as people fall asleep. This means that in sleep, respiration modulates 1/f slope in a different phase than during wakefulness
Wake: 1/f slope peaks during expiration → peak cortical inhibition
Sleep: 1/f slope peaks during inspiration

Using overnight EEG and respiration recordings from 23 participants, we tracked aperiodic brain activity (1/f slope), a marker of excitation-inhibition (E:I) balance, across sleep stages and respiratory phase.

Curious about how your brain’s excitability aligns with your breath, even while asleep? Check out our new preprint!!

A great collaboration between @tschreiner.bsky.social 's lab and @danlikesbrains.bsky.social 's lab.

Respiratory coordination of excitability states across the human wake-sleep cycle

While the respiratory rhythm is increasingly recognized as a key modulator of oscillatory brain activity across the wake-sleep cycle in humans, very little is known about its influence on aperiodic br...

Very excited to share the first preprint of my PhD thesis!

Together with @tschreiner.bsky.social, we investigated how respiration coordinates signature neural expressions of successful remembering during memory retrieval. 🫁🧠

In our recent @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social forum article www.cell.com/trends/neuro..., we highlight respiration's potential role in coordinating sleep oscillations and memory consolidation. With the fabulous @tschreiner.bsky.social and @estebanbt.bsky.social

A role for respiration in coordinating sleep oscillations and memory consolidation

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 fram...

Proudly representing the Schreiner lab!

Ready for an exciting day at #ScienceIsWonderful! Together with @estebanbt.bsky.social and Benjamin, we’ll show kids how to become sleep scientists and explore how breathing influences brain activity. Can’t wait to share the wonders of science!
