Jack Feldman
Jack Feldman, a Distinguished Professor of Neurobiology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a member of the UCLA Brain Research Institute, has received an R35 Outstanding Investigator Award from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health.
The seven-year grant provides nearly $5.5 million for his research into the relationship between breathing and the brain. A recent Nature study that Feldman did with researchers at Stanford pinpointed two clusters of neurons in the brain stem that transform normal breaths into sighs that preserve lung function.
His latest finding examines the influence of breathing on emotion.
