Overview

Michel Cuenod is affiliated with the University of Lausanne in Switzerland and specializes in the field of neuroscience. Their research primarily focuses on areas including biological psychiatry, cellular and molecular neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, molecular biology, and biochemistry.

The scientist's work covers a range of topics such as tryptophan and brain disorders, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, stress responses and cortisol, functional brain connectivity studies, amino acid enzymes and metabolism, extracellular vesicles in disease, and neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration mechanisms.

Michel Cuenod has contributed to numerous publications, with papers appearing in several renowned journals. Some recent papers include:

  • "Caught in vicious circles: a perspective on dynamic feed-forward loops driving oxidative stress in schizophrenia", 2021, Molecular Psychiatry
  • "Mitochondrial, exosomal miR137-COX6A2 and gamma synchrony as biomarkers of parvalbumin interneurons, psychopathology, and neurocognition in schizophrenia", 2021, Molecular Psychiatry
  • "Timely N-Acetyl-Cysteine and Environmental Enrichment Rescue Oxidative Stress-Induced Parvalbumin Interneuron Impairments via MMP9/RAGE Pathway: A Translational Approach for Early Intervention in Psychosis", 2021, Schizophrenia Bulletin
  • "Thalamic reticular nucleus impairments and abnormal prefrontal control of dopamine system in a developmental model of schizophrenia: prevention by N-acetylcysteine", 2021, Molecular Psychiatry
  • "White Matter Alterations Between Brain Network Hubs Underlie Processing Speed Impairment in Patients With Schizophrenia", 2021, Schizophrenia Bulletin Open

The scientist frequently publishes in the following venues:

  • Molecular Psychiatry
  • Schizophrenia Bulletin
  • Biological Psychiatry
  • Schizophrenia Bulletin Open
  • European Neuropsychopharmacology

Michel Cuenod often collaborates with several co-authors, including Kim Q., Philippe Conus, Paul Klauser, Raoul Jenni, and Martine Cleusix.

The scientist has received recognition through membership in several organizations, including being a member of Academia Europaea since 1989 and a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO).
