Abstract

Bioulac in Bordeaux since 2001, prior to which he was 'Chargé de Recherche' (CR1).For his PhD, which he obtained in 1993 in the field of neuroscience and pharmacology, Dr Benazzouz investigated a new therapeutical approach with high-frequency stimulation (HFS) of the subthalamic nucleus in a non-human primate model of Parkinson's disease (PD).The same year, he joined the Inserm unit of Professor Alim-Louis Benabid in Grenoble to participate in transferring this approach to human patients.In parallel with his hospital activity as a neurophysiologist, he then investigated the mechanisms underlying HFS in animal models of PD.
