P. Burbaud is Professor of Physiology in the University Victor Segalen-Bordeaux 2, Neurologist, Head of the department of Clinical Neurophysiology in the Bordeaux Universitary Hospital. Specialist in movement disorders and behavioural neurology, he is particularly involved in the care of patients with deep brain stimulation for movements disorders (Parkinson, dystonia, chorea, tremor) or neuro-psychiatric (obsessional compulsive disorders, Tourette’s syndrom). He also coordinates a research group in the CNRS UMR5227 devoted to the role of thalamo-cortical networks in action planning. His recent physiological research has dealt with the role of the frontal mesial cortex in behavior using two main technical approaches : single unit or multi-single unit activity in monkeys and funtional imaging (fMRI end EEG) in humans. He is also involved in stuying the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease, occupation dystonia and obsessive-compulsive disorders through the development of animal models in monkeys and functional imaging in humans.
