Salk Institute researchers discovered a brain circuit connecting the anterior cingulate cortex, pons and medulla, enabling voluntary breathing regulation. This circuit slows breathing and reduces ...

These initial experiments revealed a potential new breathing circuit: Neurons in a frontal region called the anterior ...

The inner regions of the brain closer to incoming blood flow (pons/medulla, thalamus, and hypothalamus) contained consistently higher concentrations of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and several ...
