Who is David Eidelberg?

David Eidelberg, MD, is a neuroscientist best known for applying functional imaging of the brain to diagnose neurological disease and chart its course. Eidelberg's studies were the first to identify specific changes in the patterns of brain-wide metabolic activity that could be linked to specific stages in the onset and development of Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders, such as dystonia, Tourette syndrome, and Huntington's disease. The work has led to the development of novel image-based methods for assessing disease progression and responses to treatment, as well as for enhancing the accuracy of clinical diagnosis.
