HAL BLUMENFELD, Assistant Professor in the Departments of Neurology and Neurobiology at Yale University School of Medicine, USA. He has taught neuroanatomy at Harvard, Yale, and Columbia Universities, all USA using the approach of Neuroanatomy Through Clinical Cases, which the students greeted with highly favorable feedback. He has been awarded several prestigious grants (from the National Institutes of Health, Pfizer, and the Dana Foundation) to pursue his research, which focuses on epilepsy as a model system for investigating consciousness. Current projects include cellular neurophysiology experiments using brain slices, in vivo recordings from animal models of epilepsy, and SPECT imaging of subcortical seizure foci in humans. His clinical training included an internship in Internal Medicine at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, a residency in Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital, USA and a fellowship in Epilepsy at Yale University School of Medicine, USA. He studied Bioelectrical Engineering at Harvard University, then earned an M.A. and Ph.D. (in Physiology and Cellular Biophysics) as well as his M.D. at Columbia University. Dr. Blumenfeld's previous publications include numerous articles in peer reviewed journals, as well as two volumes in the Let's Go travel guidebook series.
