We dedicate this book,
†
● to Jean Pecker : at the beginning of my training as a medical resident, he sent me to study
at the Saint Anne Hospital with Jean Talairach and Jean Bancaud. He gave me the responsibility
to create and develop the field of stereotactic and functional neurosurgery in his department.
Behind the stature of “Grand Patron”, he was the paternal guide, the perfect advisor and an
enthusiastic supporter of all the innovations that we had the opportunity to develop at Rennes
University Hospital. We announced him with great emotion the creation of the Inserm unit
he had desired so much. On that day, we did not know that it was our last encounter and
that he would leave our world a few days later (Figure 1);
to Jean Talairach†: along with Jean Bancaud†, he introduced us to the fascinating world of
stereotaxy. With the entire team of Saint Anne, he integrated us into the everyday work of
the surgical unit, but also allowed us to be involved in the ongoing innovative enterprises. We
want to acknowledge our deep admiration and our infinite gratitude. It was a great honor for
us to pay tribute to them at the 50th anniversary of the first stereotactic procedure (1948), at
the meeting of the Société de Neurochirurgie de Langue Française, on December 2nd, 1998
(Figure 2);
●
to André Gouazé: he was, for decades, the French leader in neuroanatomy. He personally
taught us this discipline at Tours and helped us successfully enter into the academic career in
this domain. We would like to acknowledge here our deep appreciation and gratitude (Figure 3).
