Pr Marc GUENOT

Professor Marc Guénot is a neurosurgeon, Deputy Head of Department, in the Functional Neurosurgery department of the P. Wertheimer Neurological Hospital, and professor of Neurosurgery at Claude Bernard Lyon I University.
He is involved, both clinically and scientifically, in the practice and development of epilepsy surgery. His main scientific work focuses on electrophysiology applied to neurosurgery, and attempts to contribute to a better understanding of certain brain functions.

Main areas of research:
Participation in the study of data from chronic intracerebral recordings by StereoElectroEncephalography (SEEG), and in particular:
• Improvement of stereotactic neurosurgery techniques.
• Explorations to study the physiology and pathophysiology of the insula.
• Use of SEEG electrodes to perform multiple thermocoagulations of the epileptogenic focus (technique distributed throughout the world).
• Conceptual and technical aspects of epilepsy surgery under awake anesthesia conditions.
