Hal Blumenfeld
Hal Blumenfeld (born March 28, 1962) is a professor of neurology, neuroscience, and neurosurgery at Yale University. His focus is on brain mechanisms of consciousness and on altered consciousness in epilepsy. As director of the Yale Clinical Neuroscience Imaging Center, he leads multi-disciplinary research and is also well known for his teaching contributions in neuroanatomy and clinical neuroscience.
Blumenfeld was born in California, grew up in New York, and began his career in Bio-electrical Engineering at Harvard University (1984). His passion for science would lead him to Columbia University, where, working with Eric Kandel and Steven Siegelbaum, he obtained his PhD (1990) in Physiology and Cellular Biophysics and his MD (1992). He completed his internal medicine internship at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center(1993) and entered the field of neurology, completing a three-year residency program at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston (1996). He then completed his fellowship at Yale University's School of Medicine.
Blumenfeld dedicated his professional career to studying brain networks in various types of seizures as well as normal brain function. Using multiple modalities of brain imaging in humans and animal models, his research has made significant contributions towards determining why children with absence seizures become unconscious.
Through active collaborations with Fahmeed Hyder (also at Yale), Blumenfeld's direct recordings of the electrical activity of brain cells improved the analysis of indirect neuroimaging measurements of brain functions, utilizing fMRI.
Blumenfeld is the author of the textbook Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases. The textbook is used in over half the medical schools in the United States and throughout the world.
