He\u0026nbsp;combines fundamental investigations in animal models with clinical investigations in patients undergoing deep brain stimulation surgery for treating movement disorders such as Parkinson\u0026rsquo;s disease. Lau\u0026nbsp;trained with Walter J. Freeman and Yang Dan at the University of California, Berkeley, and obtained a PhD under the supervision of Paul Glimcher at New York University (2007). He was a Helen Hay Whitney postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University where I worked with C. Daniel Salzman. Afterwards, he\u0026nbsp;moved to the Brain and Spine Institute (ICM) as a visiting scholar with Etienne Hirsch. In 2012 Lau created the team \u0026ldquo;Experimental Neurosurgery\u0026rdquo; under the auspices of the ATIP-Avenir program, and was recruited by the CNRS (2013).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Brian Lau, Ph.D., Paris Brain Institute"}],"uid":"35486","created_gmt":"2023-02-03 15:20:02","changed_gmt":"2023-02-03 20:44:24","author":"Christina Wessels","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2023-04-10T12:15:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2023-04-10T13:15:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2023-04-10T13:15:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2023-04-10 16:15:00","gmt_time_end":"2023-04-10 17:15:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2023-04-10 17:15:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
