Biography

Stéphane Lehericy, Professor Neuroradiology, Director CENIR, Editorial board Movement Disorders, Reviewer: Brain, Cerebral Cortex. Field of Research: structural, dissemination and functional MRI, motor control and movement disorders, neurodegenerative dementias   Stéphane Lehéricy is Director of the Center for Research Neuroimaging - CENIR within the Salpêtrière hospital. He is Professor of Neuroradiology (Department of Neuroradiology, Hôpital de la Salpetriere) and Inserm CRICM - INSERM U975 (ex-U610). He supported a thesis in fundamental neuroscience in the team of Professor Yves Agid (Inserm U678) and his post-doctoral position in functional neuroimaging at the SHFJ-CEA in Orsay with Pr Denis Le Bihan. He spent three years in the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research / University of Minnesota (Prof. Kamil Ugurbil). His research themes are centered around the study of the anatomo-functional organization of the motor system and the basal ganglia in normal man and in the pathologies of movement (dystonia, Parkinsonian syndromes, tremor, Huntington's disease) and neurodegenerative diseases. He contributed to understanding the functional anatomy of the basal ganglia using fMRI and diffusion tensor. He co-directs with the Pr Marie Vidailhet the Control team of the Normal and Abnormal Movement of the CRICM from January 2014.
