Dr. Ferenczi’s research focuses on understanding the neural circuit mechanisms that contribute to the diverse symptoms experienced by patients with such neurologic disorders as Parkinson’s disease and toidentify strategies to alleviate these symptoms using targeted neural circuit therapies. She is a movement disorders neurologist at Mass General and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Dr Ferenczi studied medicine at the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom and earned a PhD in neuroscience at Stanford University. Dr Ferenczi completed neurology residency and fellowship training in movement disorders at Mass General and Brigham and Women’s. Her postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School focused on understanding the neural circuit mechanisms regulating motivated behavior, and Dr. Ferenczi’s research focuses on understanding the neural circuit mechanisms that contribute to the diverse symptoms experienced by patients with such neurologic disorders as Parkinson’s disease and to identify strategies to alleviate these symptoms using targeted neural circuit therapies.
