About Me
Dr. Brian Kopell is a Professor of Neurosurgery, Neurology, Psychiatry, and Neuroscience. He serves as Director of the Center for Neuromodulation and Co-Director, The Bonnie and Tom Strauss Center for Movement Disorders at the Mount Sinai Health System. Dr. Kopell has pioneered the use of intraoperative imaging during Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) cases to supplement the microelectrode recording typically done to make a procedure that is safer and quicker for patients. He has performed over 2,000 DBS procedures.
A graduate of the NYU School of Medicine, Dr. Kopell completed his residency at NYU Medical Center. He has undergone fellowship training in Functional and Restorative Neurosurgery at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and the University of Zurich. He founded and has led the Restorative Neuroscience Program at the Medical College of Wisconsin (Milwaukee, WI) where his team performed over 400 DBS cases for movement disorders. Furthermore, Dr. Kopell has participated and has been principal investigator in several clinical trials of emerging neuromodulation technologies targeting disorders such as Parkinson's disease, tremor, tinnitus, Tourette's syndrome and major depression.
DBS is widely recognized as the gold standard treatment for patients with disabling motor symptoms from idiopathic Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia that have become refractory to medical therapy. This neurosurgical procedure is available within a fully-integrated multidisciplinary program through the Mount Sinai Health System.
