Dr. Jack L. Feldman, PhD, is a Distinguished Professor of Neurobiology at UCLA and Chair of Neuroscience, known for groundbreaking research that has reshaped our understanding of respiration. His pioneering discovery of the pre-Bötzinger complex identified a central neural generator of breathing, marking a major milestone in neuroscience.
In his more recent work, Dr. Feldman examines how breathing rhythms may influence emotion, cognition, and overall health, offering valuable insight into the deep connection between the body and the brain. At this remarkable stage of his career, he is widely recognized as the world’s leading expert on the neuroscience of respiration.
