“This top-down breathing circuit has been a longstanding question in the neuroscience field. It’s exciting to find the neural mechanism to explain how the slowing down of breathing can control ...

Neuroscientists at the Salk Institute have now, for the first time, identified a specific brain circuit that regulates breathing voluntarily. Using mice, the researchers pinpointed a group of ...

Researchers at the Salk Institute have discovered a brain pathway that connects the frontal cortex to the brainstem, offering potential therapeutic targets for anxiety, panic, and PTSD. Study: A ...

When they take an opioid to ease that pain, their breathing slows. And if they overdose, respiration can stop entirely. Now scientists have discovered a brain circuit in mice that appears to ...
