Dr. Feldner’s
research program aims to increase our understanding of the development,
prevention, and treatment of panic disorder, posttraumatic stress
disorder, and the common overlap between unhealthy behaviors, such as smoking,
and these conditions. To this end, he continues to systematically examine
in the laboratory context specific factors that are implicated in the
development and/or maintenance of these conditions and integrate these
findings into the development of novel prevention and treatment
protocols. Dr. Feldner maintains an active research program funded, in
part, by research project and training grants awarded by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health, as
well as local funding sources including a departmental research endowment
and the statewide Arkansas Biosciences Institute. Please see Dr.
Feldner’s laboratory webpage (http://comp.uark.edu/~mfeldne/) for more
information about current activities he and his research team are
pursuing in the areas of research, clinical, teaching, and service.
