Dr. Eidelberg's post-doctoral training led to a
position in a research lab working with PET
imaging. He brought PET research to North
Shore University Hospital two decades ago.
Since that time, he has developed novel
imaging techniques that aid in diagnosing
and evaluating the progression of
Parkinson's disease. His state-of-the-art PET
imaging methods are also used to further
understand how current therapies treat
Parkinson's disease.
Neuroscience is to shed light on
the abnormalities of functional
brain organization that underlie
nervous system disease. To
characterize these networks
as biomarkers of disease and
treatment, investigators use
multimodal brain imaging
in conjunction with novel
computational methods. Study
populations include healthy
volunteers and patients with
Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's
disease, Huntington's disease,
dystonia and Tourette syndrome.
