Born in Berlin, he was the son of Aron Bernstein, a noted political and scientific writer and a founder of Reform Judaism in Berlin,
He studied medicine in Breslau and Berlin and graduated from Berlin University in 1862.
From 1864 he was an assistant in Heidelberg and in 1871 became associate professor in physiology at the University of Halle, being promoted to full professor the following year.
Bernstein conducted classical research on the physiology of muscle and nerve tissue, blood circulation, the heart, respiration, and the special senses. He published papers on toxicology, the problems of educating medical students, physics, and mathematics. In his studies he used photography to measure the latent period of muscle stimulation. He also investigated galvanic neuromuscular stimulation, introduced the differential rheotome in 1890, and applied the laws of physical chemistry to the study of muscular physiology and the thermodynamics of muscular contraction (1902-1908).
