Why the study?
Respiration modulates sensory, affective, and cognitive processes via neural oscillations, but whether these findings inform the understanding of disorders associated with abnormal respiration required synthesis.

Respiration may shape cognition via neural oscillations; leaves open whether this informs mechanisms or treatment of affective disorders.
This review highlights the role of respiratory modulation of neural oscillations in cognitive and affective processes, offering potential insights into disorders with respiratory abnormalities.
Heck et al. (2022) conducted a review in Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), anxiety, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Respiratory modulation of brain activity was evaluated. Respiratory modulation of neuronal activity may help understand the relationship between respiratory abnormalities and cognitive and affective deficits in disorders like COPD, anxiety, and ASD.
