  • 2023 - Research.com Medicine in Canada Leader Award
  • 2004 - Léo-Pariseau Prize, Association francophone pour le savoir (Acfas)

Overview

Jacques Montplaisir is affiliated with the University of Montreal in Canada and focuses research primarily in the fields of Medicine and Neuroscience. Their work spans several subfields including Neurology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Experimental and Cognitive Psychology, Physiology, and Epidemiology.

The scientist's research addresses a variety of topics related to sleep and neurological conditions. Notable research themes encompass Sleep and Wakefulness Research, Parkinson's Disease Mechanisms and Treatments, Sleep and Related Disorders, Restless Legs Syndrome Research, Obstructive Sleep Apnea Research, Neurological Disorders and Treatments, and Lysosomal Storage Disorders Research.

Recent published papers demonstrate an emphasis on neurodegenerative disorders and sleep-related biomarkers, including:

  • Diagnostic value of cerebrospinal fluid alpha-synuclein seed quantification in synucleinopathies (2021, Brain)
  • Speech Biomarkers in Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder and Parkinson Disease (2021, Annals of Neurology)
  • Progression of clinical markers in prodromal Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies: a multicentre study (2023, Brain)
  • Genome-wide association study of REM sleep behavior disorder identifies polygenic risk and brain expression effects (2022, Nature Communications)
  • GBA variants in REM sleep behavior disorder (2020, Neurology)

Montplaisir collaborates frequently with other researchers, with key co-authors including Ronald B. Postuma, Alex Désautels, Jean-François Gagnon, Isabelle Arnulf, and Yves Dauvilliers. This network reflects a shared focus on topics related to sleep behavior disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.

Publication venues that recurrently feature Montplaisir's work include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Journal of Sleep Research, Alzheimer's & Dementia, Neurology, and Brain. These journals align with the scientist's focus on neurological and sleep-related disorders.

In recognition of contributions to their field, Jacques Montplaisir was awarded the Léo-Pariseau Prize by the Association francophone pour le savoir (Acfas) in 2004.
