Henri Begleiter (September 11, 1935 in Nimes, France – April 6, 2006 in Long Island, NY) was a neurophysiologist and Distinguished Professor of Psychiatryand Neuroscience at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn. He was a leader in the nascent field of biomedical alcohol research in the1970s, postulating alcoholism as a brain disorder. He founded and headed the world-renowned Neurodynamics Laboratory at SUNY Downstate MedicalCenter, Brooklyn, which has been renamed in 2007 into the 'Henri Begleiter Neurodynamics Laboratory'.

  • Henri Begleiter (September 11, 1935 in Nimes, France – April 6, 2006 in Long Island, NY) was a neurophysiologist and Distinguished Professor of Psychiatryand Neuroscience at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn. He was a leader in the nascent field of biomedical alcohol research in the1970s, postulating alcoholism as a brain disorder. He founded and headed the world-renowned Neurodynamics Laboratory at SUNY Downstate MedicalCenter, Brooklyn, which has been renamed in 2007 into the 'Henri Begleiter Neurodynamics Laboratory'. The highlights of Begleiter’s career include the ground breaking finding published in Science that some neurophysiological anomalies in alcoholics werealready present in their young offspring before any exposure to alcohol and drugs. These seminal findings led Henri to propose a model that changedthe thinking in the field: namely, that rather than being a consequence of alcoholism, this underlying neural hyperexcitability was a predisposingfactor leading to the development of alcoholism and related disorders. This innovative study was replicated throughout the world and launched him ona systematic search to elucidate the genetic vulnerability underlying a predisposition toward alcoholism and related disorders. In 1990, with his foresight and charismatic leadership, Henri Begleiter was instrumental in assembling scientists in various domains to organize thelarge Collaborative Studies on Genetics of Alcoholism — COGA, which he has led since its inception. Under his leadership, with a strongemphasis on novel approaches such as using brain oscillations as endophenotypes, COGA has successfully identified several genes involved in thepredisposition to develop alcoholism and related disorders, and this approach is still state-of-the-art today.
