David Eidelberg

David Eidelberg is an American neuroscientist who is a professor of Neurology and Molecular Medicine at the Zucker School of Medicine. He is a neuroscientist best known for applying functional imaging of the brain to study neurological diseases.

Education and career
Eidelberg earned his BA at Columbia University in 1977, and his MD from Harvard Medical School (HMS) in 1981. 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 Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center 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 Neurology and Neuroscience at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, and Professor of Neurology and Molecular Medicine at the Zucker School of Medicine. He is the Director of the Feinstein Center for Neurosciences and 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 diseases like Parkinson's disease and dystonia.
