Overview

Michèle Allard is affiliated with the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) in France. Their research focuses primarily on Medicine, with significant work in subfields such as Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging, Psychiatry and Mental Health, Physiology, Neurology, and Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience.

The scientist has contributed extensively to topics related to dementia and cognitive impairment research, advanced MRI techniques and applications, Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, neurological disorders and treatments, genetic neurodegenerative diseases, and frailty in older adults.

Michèle Allard has published several research papers in notable venues, with frequent publications in The Journals of Gerontology Series A, Brain, arXiv (Cornell University), Alzheimer's Research & Therapy, and Age and Ageing. Examples of their recent papers include:

  • Associations Between Physical Activity, Blood-Based Biomarkers of Neurodegeneration, and Cognition in Healthy Older Adults: The MAPT Study (2021, The Journals of Gerontology Series A)
  • Plasma Aβ and neurofilament light chain are associated with cognitive and physical function decline in non-dementia older adults (2020, Alzheimer's Research & Therapy)
  • Striatal and cerebellar vesicular acetylcholine transporter expression is disrupted in human DYT1 dystonia (2020, Brain)
  • Investigating three ways of measuring the intrinsic capacity domain of vitality: nutritional status, handgrip strength and ageing biomarkers (2023, Age and Ageing)
  • Age-related change in episodic memory: role of functional and structural connectivity between the ventral posterior cingulate and the parietal cortex (2020, Brain Structure and Function)

Collaborative efforts feature frequently in their work, with common co-authors including Françoise Lala, Yves Rolland, Sophie Guyonnet, Philipe de Souto Barreto, and Lauréane Brigitte.

The accumulation of publications highlights a dedication to understanding the complex mechanisms behind neurodegeneration, cognitive decline, and physiological aging processes through imaging and biomarker approaches.
