#JNeurosci: Tarrasó et al. explored how breathing impacts behavioral and neural representations of memory recall in people. They found exhaling shapes two neural signatures for memory recollection to influence the strength of personal memories. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1221-25.2025

How are memories consolidated during sleep?
Excited to share another preprint: hippocampal SWRs route memory content to the cortex via interregional co-reactivation of concept cells, optimized by slow-oscillation–spindle coupling. With the great @tschreiner.bsky.social @humansingleneuron.bsky.social
Sequential coupling of sleep oscillations enables concept-neuron reactivation and supports information flow across the human hippocampal-cortical circuit https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.15.699122v1

How does the brain replay memories during sleep?
Excited to share our new preprint, the outcome of an extensive effort led by Johannes Niediek, showing that reactivation of human concept neurons reflects memory content rather than event sequence.
Episodic memory consolidation by reactivation of human concept neurons during sleep reflects contents, not sequence of events https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.10.698827v1

Thanks for the warm welcome! Very excited to share this and hope it can be helpful to people in the field
'Robust circular cluster-based statistics
for respiration-brain coupling'

New preprint, and what a way to welcome @teresaberther.bsky.social to the #neuroskyence community. With @eliobalestrieri.bsky.social, she developed CBPT for circular #bodybrain analyses.

Excited to share our new study on how respiration modulates neural dynamics during successful memory retrieval—led by @estebanbt.bsky.social, alongside the exceptional team of @fabian31415.bsky.social, @maritpetzka.bsky.social, @tobiasstaudigl.bsky.social, and @bstaresina.bsky.social. 👇
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. 🫁🧠

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!
