Phase-specific pooling of sparse assembly activity by respiration-related brain oscillations

Abstract: Nasal breathing affects cognitive functions, but it has remained largely unclear how respiration-driven inputs shape information processing in neuronal circuits. Current theories emphasize the role of neuronal assemblies, coalitions of transiently active pyramidal cells, as the core unit of cortical network computations. Here, we show that respiration-related oscillations (RROs) directly pace the activation of neuronal assemblies in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of mice. Neuronal assemblies are more effi… Show more

“…Interestingly, optogenetic manipulation of fear-related assemblies in a 4 Hz phase-specific manner could bi-directionally modulate the amount of freezing, suggesting a causal role of assembly activity nested in respiration-driven prefrontal oscillations (Dejean et al, 2016 ). More recently, recordings from head-fixed mice presented evidence that the modulation of assembly patterns by RR might generalize to behavioral states other than fear ( Figure 5 C; Folschweiller and Sauer, 2021 ). In the absence of fearful stimuli, prefrontal assembly patterns are preferentially activated during the descending phase of respiration-driven oscillations.…”

“…The olfactory tubercle (OT) receives direct projections from the OB and the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) has been shown to be strongly entrained by RR (Karalis and Sirota, 2018). In the prefrontal cortex, the RR power increases from dorsal to ventral (Karalis and Sirota, 2018;Folschweiller and Sauer, 2021). Adapted from Voorn et al (2004); copyright ( 2004 (Figure 1A; Ito et al, 2014), and respiration has been argued to be an important synchronization signal for sensorimotor integration (for review see Kleinfeld et al, 2014).…”
