Biography
Stéphane Lehéricy is Professor of Neuroradiology at the Pitié-Salpêtrière and Director of CENIR (Centre de neuro-imagerie de recherche) at the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital. He completed a university thesis in basic neuroscience with Pr. Yves Agid (Inserm U678) and his postdoctoral fellow in functional neuroimaging at SHFJ-CEA in Orsay with Pr. Denis Le Bihan. He spent three years at the Centre for Magnetic Resonance Research / University of Minnesota, under the direction of Prof. Kamil Ugurbil. It presents a sustained research activity with numerous funding (PHRC, ANR, France Alzheimer, France Parkinson, ENP). His area of research is the structural and functional study of the normal and pathological human brain, including movement pathology and neurodegenerative dementia. He focuses on the functional anatomy of the ganglia at the base of the normal human brain and on movement disorders. He has contributed to the understanding of the functional anatomy of the basal ganglia using fMRI and the diffusion tensor.
