'''Henri Gastaut''' (15 April 1915 – 14 July 1995) was a prominent French neurologist renowned for his extensive research in the field of [[epilepsy]]. His work significantly advanced the understanding of epileptic syndromes and the classification of seizures.<br />
<br />
== Early Life and Education ==<br />
Henri Gastaut was born in [[Monaco]] and pursued his medical education at the [[University of Marseille]], where he later became a professor. His early interest in neurology led him to specialize in the study of epilepsy, a field in which he would make groundbreaking contributions.<br />
<br />
== Career and Research ==<br />
Gastaut's career was primarily based at the University of Marseille, where he conducted pioneering research on epilepsy. He is best known for his work on the classification of epileptic seizures and syndromes, which laid the foundation for modern epilepsy diagnosis and treatment.<br />
