The Oxford International Breathing conference is now in its 16th iteration since 1978, which aims to disseminate the latest research on the neural control of breathing as well as the influence of breathing neural activity on numerous brain functions. Breathing for Life embraces all forms of neuroscience research including molecular genetics, developmental biology, cellular neurophysiology, systems and behavioral neuroscience, mathematical modeling, data science, as well as the interdisciplinary intersection of such disciplines. Breathing for Life is rooted in the tradition of the Oxford Conference on Modeling and the Neural Control of Breathing, which originated in l978 at Queen’s College at Oxford University in the UK. The first Oxford meeting was attended by 90 scientists from 10 countries. Since then the conference, generally held triennially, has become an established forum at the interface of neuroscience and respiratory physiology. It has been hosted in seven countries on four continents and conference attendees come from nations spanning North and South America, Australia and New Zealand, South Asia (India, Sri Lanka), Japan, Scandinavia, Europe, and the United Kingdom (with new countries enthusiastically welcomed).
