Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Disease

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Sleep disorder, Sleep in non-human animals, Restless legs syndrome, Polysomnography and Neurological disorder. His Sleep disorder research incorporates themes from Anesthesia, Apnea, REM sleep behavior disorder and Physical medicine and rehabilitation. The concepts of his Sleep in non-human animals study are interwoven with issues in Developmental psychology, Cognition, Audiology and Electroencephalography.

He has included themes like BTBD9, Bedtime, Physical therapy and Insomnia in his Restless legs syndrome study. His research integrates issues of Dopaminergic, Internal medicine and Autonomic nervous system in his study of Polysomnography. Jacques Montplaisir interconnects Movement disorders, Circadian rhythm, Pediatrics and Motor Restlessness in the investigation of issues within Neurological disorder.

His most cited work include:

  • Toward a better definition of the restless legs syndrome (990 citations)
  • Restless Legs Syndrome Prevalence and Impact: REST General Population Study (915 citations)
  • Clinical, polysomnographic, and genetic characteristics of restless legs syndrome: A study of 133 patients diagnosed with new standard criteria (773 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Sleep in non-human animals, REM sleep behavior disorder, Polysomnography, Internal medicine and Audiology are his primary areas of study. Jacques Montplaisir combines subjects such as Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Electroencephalography with his study of Sleep in non-human animals. His REM sleep behavior disorder research includes elements of Rapid eye movement sleep and Dementia with Lewy bodies, Dementia.

His Polysomnography study combines topics in areas such as Physical therapy and Sleep disorder. His Sleep disorder study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Neurological disorder, Anesthesia, Pediatrics and Narcolepsy. His research in Internal medicine focuses on subjects like Restless legs syndrome, which are connected to Genetics and BTBD9.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sleep in non-human animals (24.28%)
  • REM sleep behavior disorder (19.82%)
  • Polysomnography (20.94%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • REM sleep behavior disorder (19.82%)
  • Audiology (19.82%)
  • Internal medicine (19.38%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are REM sleep behavior disorder, Audiology, Internal medicine, Rapid eye movement sleep and Neuroscience. His REM sleep behavior disorder research integrates issues from Dementia with Lewy bodies, Dementia and Cognition. His study in Audiology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cognitive impairment, Electroencephalography, Cognitive test, Polysomnography and Executive functions.

He works mostly in the field of Disease, limiting it down to topics relating to Genetics and, in certain cases, Restless legs syndrome, as a part of the same area of interest. His Restless legs syndrome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Meta-analysis and Neurological disorder. Narcolepsy is the focus of his Sleep in non-human animals research.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Risk and predictors of dementia and parkinsonism in idiopathic REM sleep behaviour disorder: a multicentre study (199 citations)
  • Identification of novel risk loci for restless legs syndrome in genome-wide association studies in individuals of European ancestry: a meta-analysis. (102 citations)
  • HLA-DPB1 and HLA Class I Confer Risk of and Protection from Narcolepsy (89 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Gene

His primary scientific interests are in REM sleep behavior disorder, Dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease, Rapid eye movement sleep and Dementia. The research on Psychiatry and Polysomnography is part of his REM sleep behavior disorder project. His study looks at the relationship between Polysomnography and topics such as Physical therapy, which overlap with Sleep Bruxism, Sleep disorder, Relative risk, Cross-sectional study and Insomnia.

His studies deal with areas such as Wakefulness, Anatomy and Behavior disorder as well as Rapid eye movement sleep. His Wakefulness study contributes to a more complete understanding of Sleep in non-human animals. His Dementia study incorporates themes from Pediatrics and Parkinsonism.
