Overview

Isabelle Arnulf is affiliated with Sorbonne University in France. Their research primarily focuses on neuroscience and medicine, with a substantial output in the interconnected fields of cognitive neuroscience, neurology, experimental and cognitive psychology, physiology, and endocrine and autonomic systems.

The scientist has made significant contributions to several research topics, notably sleep and wakefulness research, sleep and related disorders, Parkinson's disease mechanisms and treatments, restless legs syndrome research, neurological disorders and treatments, obstructive sleep apnea research, and the neuroscience of respiration and sleep.

Recent notable publications include:

  • The cerebral network of COVID-19-related encephalopathy: a longitudinal voxel-based 18F-FDG-PET study (2021), published in European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging
  • The spatiotemporal changes in dopamine, neuromelanin and iron characterizing Parkinson's disease (2021), published in Brain
  • Real-time dialogue between experimenters and dreamers during REM sleep (2021), published in Current Biology
  • Spatiotemporal changes in substantia nigra neuromelanin content in Parkinson's disease (2020), published in Brain
  • To split or to lump? Classifying the central disorders of hypersomnolence (2020), published in SLEEP

Frequent co-authors working with Arnulf include:

  • Pauline Dodet (66 collaborations)
  • Smaranda Leu-Semenescu (59 collaborations)
  • Yves Dauvilliers (54 collaborations)
  • Marie Vidailhet (48 collaborations)
  • Jean-Christophe Corvol (43 collaborations)

Their work is often published in specialized venues such as Médecine du Sommeil, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Sleep Medicine, SLEEP, and the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine. These journals reflect a strong focus on sleep-related research and clinical aspects of sleep medicine.

In recognition of their scientific contributions, Isabelle Arnulf was awarded the Grand Prix scientifique de la Fondation NRJ, Institut de France in 2012.
