Overview

Sylvain Rheims is affiliated with Claude Bernard University Lyon 1 in France and has contributed extensively to the fields of Medicine and Neuroscience. Their research portfolio includes a significant focus on Cognitive Neuroscience, Psychiatry and Mental Health, Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, and Neurology.

The main areas of study addressed in Rheims' work involve Epilepsy research and treatment, Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research, EEG and Brain-Computer Interfaces, Pharmacological Effects and Toxicity Studies, Functional Brain Connectivity Studies, Neural dynamics and brain function, and Neuroscience of respiration and sleep.

Frequently publishing in scientific journals, Rheims has multiple papers in these venues:

  • Epilepsia
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Revue Neurologique
  • Epilepsia Open
  • Neurology

Some of Rheims' recent significant papers include:

  • Seizure outcome and use of antiepileptic drugs after epilepsy surgery according to histopathological diagnosis: a retrospective multicentre cohort study (2020, The Lancet Neurology)
  • Neural mechanisms resolving exploitation-exploration dilemmas in the medial prefrontal cortex (2020, Science)
  • Four core properties of the human brain valuation system demonstrated in intracranial signals (2020, Nature Neuroscience)
  • Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies: recognition and approaches to care (2021, Epileptic Disorders)
  • Clinical Management of Drug Resistant Epilepsy: A Review on Current Strategies (2021, Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment)

Collaborations with other researchers form a notable part of Rheims' scholarly activity. Frequent co-authors include Philippe Ryvlin, Hélène Catenoix, Philippe Kahane, Fabricē Bartolomei, and Marc Guénot, with multiple joint publications reflecting their interconnected research efforts.

Rheims' work displays a strong interdisciplinary approach, combining various subfields of neuroscience and medicine to address complex neurological disorders, particularly epilepsy. This comprehensive focus encompasses both clinical and basic science perspectives, analyzing neural mechanisms and treatment outcomes.
