Dr. Segal did his undergraduate work at Harvard and his MD and PhD at Columbia, where his thesis project outlined rules for the types of chemical synapses that will form in a nervous system. After his residency in pediatric neurology at Columbia, he moved to Harvard Medical School, where he joined the faculty and developed the microisland system for studying small numbers of brain neurons in culture. Using this system, he developed a simplified model of epilepsy, work that won him national and international young investigator awards, and set the stage for later work on the molecular mechanism of attention deficit disorder. Dr. Segal has a long history of interest in artificial intelligence and neural networks, and patterned the SimulConsult software after the way that experienced clinicians actually think about diagnosis. He is on the Electronic Communication Committee of the Child Neurology Society and has been on the Scientific Program Committee of the American Medical Informatics Association.
