About Eric Bershad

Eric Bershad is an Associate Professor of Neurology and Space Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas.  His main practice involves managing patients with a variety of acute brain injuries in the neuro-ICU, including disturbances in intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral blood flow.  Given the hypothesized changes in ICP and cerebral blood flow in astronauts in microgravity during long-duration spaceflight, Dr. Bershad became interested in studying this unique condition.  He assembled a team of experts in neurology, neuroradiology, ophthalmology, neuroscience, and space medicine, to develop methods for non-invasive monitoring of brain and eye function and structure.
