 | | He first met Gastaut, as well as Joseph Roger, in 1960 in Marseilles on the occasion of a symposium on infantile spasms. |
 | | Their ideas, as well as those of Collette Dreyfus-Brisac, a pionneer in the field of electroencephalography in childhood, and Jean Bancaud, who, together with Jean Talairach and their coworkers, developed stereoelectroencephalography and stereotactic neurosurgery of epilepsy, were to play a significant part in the development of Aicardi's thinking in the field of epileptology. |
 | | As early as 1957, he made the distinction between cryptogenic and symptomatic forms of infantile spasms, a distinction that has important prognostic implications (Thieffry and Aicardi, 1959). |
