How does sleep help memory? we developed closed-loop deep brain stimulation during sleep in human prefrontal cortex w/ timing based on hippocampal activity
TLDR: boosting hippocampus-cortex coordination improves memory

Proud to share that our own @NMatosevich just received the Rotschild Fellowship to study how breathing and breathlessness modulate emotions and arousal, at the Kevin Yackle lab @UCSF. Good luck Noa! Looking forward to hearing about your amazing scientific discoveries
