Preprint of collaboration with @lauradata.bsky.social. We found that infraslow slow sighing at a frequency recently linked to glymphatic clearance (0.02-0.03 Hz) produced significantly higher CSF-BOLD coupling than other breathing regimes. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Effects of different slow paced breathing regimes on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) oscillations

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) transport is crucial for clearing waste from the brain and is largely driven by blood vessel oscillatory dynamics. During non-REM sleep, large oscillations occur in the infra...

New preprint out of the press: 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐜 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬. A thread 🧵:

#Respiration influences neuronal activity, and recent work suggests that respiratory phase is coupled to the cortical readiness potential. This study challenges this link and reports that the previously identified association arises from movement onset confounds. 🧪 #AcademicSky plos.io/4ybvJBU

So proud of @teresaberther.bsky.social 🫶🏻 What a beautiful milestone for your first first-author paper - and such a special piece of work to have out in @plos.org

📣 My lab at NYU currently has two open post-doc positions. We are interested in understanding perception, thinking, and hallucinations. We employ a range of cutting-edge techniques in human neuroscience (e.g., 7T fMRI, MEG, iEEG/DES) and computational approaches (e.g., DNN modeling).

Can we study MTL ripples non-invasively? New preprint! We show that source-resolved MEG tracks ripple-like activity during sleep that: • localizes to the MTL • follows the canonical SO–spindle hierarchy • matches an iEEG benchmark • indexes memory reactivation www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Latest preprint from @bodybrainbehaviour.bsky.social by @teresaberther.bsky.social and @martinasaltafossi.bsky.social on cardio-respiratory modulation of arousal and excitability states in the human brain - overlap, distinctions, and implications for brain-body #neuroskyence. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Is there a single "interoceptive sense"? Our new study in @commspsychol.nature.com says: probably not. In 241 participants, cardiac and respiratory interoception were completely uncorrelated — only subjective confidence was shared across domains. www.nature.com/articles/s44... #psychscisky 🧪

Incredibly excited to finally share this project! Most heartfelt thanks to everyone involved for their support 🫶🏻 Looking forward to much more gut-brain research to come!
