or TPJ. The TPJ handles many different tasks, processing information from inside and outside the body and figuring out appropriate responses.– including EI transition – reset the processing that the TPJ does, and that the TPJ might be involved in the memory performance fluctuations seen in the mice. These effects still need to be replicated in humans, which is one route to pursue in terms of future studies.
We're already aware of various links between breathing and the brain – the way that breathing exercises, for example – and the team behind the new paper suggests that deliberately adjusting our breathing patterns could help in other therapeutic ways. "The determination of detailed roles of respiration and molecular mechanisms in the brain is a subject to future research to understand effects of stress tolerance," says Nakamura.
"The way of breathing manipulation and application of breathing exercises will be crucial for treatment and therapy of
