Internationally recognized for his contributions to Neurology, Dr. Richard Levy has extensively investigated the histology of Dementias and other brain pathologies. In particular, he has led multiple clinical trials at the Institute of Memory and Alzheimer's Disease (IM2A), associated with the Salpetrière Hospital, which have provided innovative results to understand many of the conditions related to the human nervous system.  

His areas of expertise, in addition to Neurodegenerative Diseases, include Electrophysiology and executive functions. In the latter field, he has several analyses on frontal lobe capabilities in decision making and action planning. From the beginning of his career, in the laboratory of the renowned Professor Yves Agid, he conducted pioneering research on the anatomy of the Basal Ganglia. In this way, he has stood out for his innovative skills in the study of cognition and behavior, and was chosen for a postdoctoral stay in this field at Yale University.

Also, thanks to his cutting-edge knowledge, he has achieved prominent roles as the Director of the FRONTlab Research Team at the Brain and Spinal Cord Institute. From that scientific group he has also examined behavioral disorders targeting Apathy and Disinhibition. In parallel, he has numerous articles, published in high impact journals, widely cited by other experts.  

In addition to his research work, Dr. Levy also has a prominent career in the clinical setting. His work as Director of the Department of Neurology at the Saint-Antoine University Hospital, or as head of the specialized unit at the Salpetrière Hospital, is evidence of this. In both institutions he collaborates with the care of patients with medical problems where the boundaries between Neurosciences and Psychiatry are blurred.
