AI Summary

Researchers at the University of California San Diego found that each breath’s detailed shape is closely linked to neural activity in brain regions involved in cognition, emotion, and memory. The study shows that the brain does not merely respond to breathing as a steady rhythm; instead, the shape of individual breaths correlates with the shape of brain activity. This finding suggests that breathing patterns may provide clues to epilepsy‑related breathing failures.
