I am a neurologist at Avicenne Hospital and a professor at Sorbonne Paris Nord University (PU-PH). My clinical responsibilities include managing the Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) Unit and the Memory Clinic at Avicenne Hospital.

My primary research focuses on functional neurological disorders, encompassing several key areas:

• Describing the semiology of FND, including clinical signs, overlaps with functional somatic disorders, and the identification of predisposing, precipitating, and perpetuating factors, as well as neurophysiological correlates such as oculovideography.

• Evaluating innovative treatments for FND, including brain stimulation, virtual reality, but also diagnostic explanation and therapeutic education.

• Investigating the pathophysiology including cognitive and imaging correlates of FND.

I am enthusiastic about mentoring Master’s and PhD students. You can find me at the ICM on Thursdays.
