Education and career

Eidelberg earned his BA at Columbia University in 1977, and his MD from Harvard Medical School (HMS) in 1981.[1] After completing residency training in neurology at the Harvard-Longwood Area Training Program, he pursued postdoctoral training as a Moseley Traveling Fellow at the National Hospital, Queen Square, in London, and at Sloan-Kettering Institute in New York.

In 1988, Eidelberg joined North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, New York, where he established the Functional Brain Imaging Laboratory and the Movement Disorders Center. He is Susan & Leonard Feinstein Professor of Neuroscience at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, and Professor of Molecular Medicine at Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine. He is also the Director of the Feinstein Center for Neurosciences and Director of the NIH Morris K. Udall Center of Excellence for Parkinson's Disease Research at Feinstein.[1] He is also an attending neurologist at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset.

Research

Eidelberg has studied functional imaging methods to characterize large-scale network abnormalities in brain disease. For example, Eidelberg and his colleagues have used this approach to measure rates of network progression in individuals with prodromal Parkinson's disease[2] and to understand movement disorders like dystonia and Tourette syndrome.[3][4]
