Laurent Vercueil

Laurent Vercueil is a Clinical Professor and Hospital Practitioner in the Department of Functional Explorations of the Nervous System at Grenoble Alpes University Hospital. He holds an MD (1991), PhD in Neuroscience (2006), and Habilitation (HDR, 2013). His clinical expertise spans epilepsy, movement disorders, and neurophysiology, with leadership roles including editorial positions at Revue Neurologique and membership in the Scientific Council of the French Neurology Society.

Education:

• DEA Anthropology (1990)
• MD (1991)
• Specialist in Neurology (1996)
• PhD in Neuroscience (2006)
• HDR (2013)

Research Interests: Dr. Vercueil's work focuses on epilepsy mechanisms, consciousness studies, neurophysiology of dystonia, and neuromodulation therapies (e.g., deep brain stimulation). He investigates functional neurological disorders and the neurobiology of postictal states, with translational applications in clinical neurology.

Publications: His 150+ articles emphasize epilepsy surgery outcomes, neuromodulation for inflammatory diseases, and diagnostic challenges in psychogenic nonepileptic seizures. Recent work integrates EEG, fMRI, and therapeutic robotics.

Awards & Recognition:

• Fellow of the European Academy of Neurology

Academic Leadership: He mentors PhD/MD students in neurology and neuroscience, with 12+ supervised theses. Collaborates with the LPNC lab on cognitive neurophysiology projects and leads international DIU training programs in neurology.
