Overview

Michel Lacour is affiliated with Aix-Marseille University in France. Their research focuses primarily on the fields of Medicine and Neuroscience, with specific attention to subfields such as Neurology, Pathology and Forensic Medicine, Surgery, and Ophthalmology.

The main topics covered in their work include Vestibular and auditory disorders, Ophthalmology and Eye Disorders, Cardiovascular Syncope and Autonomic Disorders, as well as Glaucoma and retinal disorders.

The scientist has published research in notable venues including Healthcare and the Journal of Audiology & Otology. Some recent publications are:

  • Updated Views on Vestibular Physical Therapy for Patients with Vestibular Disorders, 2025, Healthcare
  • Asymmetry of the Subjective Visual Vertical in Patients With Unilateral Peripheral Vestibular Deficit, 2024, Journal of Audiology & Otology

Frequent collaborators with Michel Lacour include:

  • Souad Haijoub
  • Marco Tramontano
  • Leonardo Manzari

Their work spans multiple interrelated topics in clinical and experimental aspects of vestibular and auditory function, contributing to understanding disorders affecting balance, vision, and cardiovascular autonomic regulation.
