Jose Herrero-Rubio

Jose L. Herrero-Rubio, PhD, is an Assistant Professor at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research. He specializes in studying the interactions between physiology and brain functions, particularly focusing on breathing and stress.1

As a childhood asthma sufferer, Herrero-Rubio developed a keen interest in respiratory processes and their impact on the brain. His research has provided valuable insights into the communication between different brain regions during breathing.1

Some key aspects of Dr. Herrero-Rubio's work include:

1. Investigating the relationship between the brain stem (responsible for vital functions like respiration) and sub-cortical areas of the brain (involved in higher-order thinking).1

2. Examining how the somatosensory cortex detects inhalation and communicates with the motor cortex to regulate the breathing cycle.1

3. Studying persistent dyspnea (shortness of breath) using invasive human recordings of respiratory-related brain oscillations during respiratory challenges.2

Dr. Herrero-Rubio is affiliated with the Institute of Bioelectronic Medicine at the Feinstein Institutes.34 His research contributes to the broader field of neuroscience and respiratory physiology, potentially leading to improved understanding and treatment of respiratory disorders.
