Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Dopamine
  • Parkinson's disease

Her primary areas of investigation include Parkinson's disease, Neuroscience, Dopaminergic, Internal medicine and Dopamine. Her work in the fields of Dyskinesia and Pars compacta overlaps with other areas such as Placebo-controlled study. Her study of Basal ganglia is a part of Neuroscience.

Her Internal medicine study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Endocrinology and In vivo. Her research integrates issues of Huntington's disease, Asymptomatic, Subclinical infection and Degenerative disease in her study of Endocrinology. Paola Piccini works mostly in the field of Putamen, limiting it down to concerns involving Central nervous system disease and, occasionally, Pathology.

Her most cited work include:

  • Dopamine release from nigral transplants visualized in vivo in a Parkinson's patient (607 citations)
  • Dyskinesias following neural transplantation in Parkinson's disease (379 citations)
  • Compulsive drug use linked to sensitized ventral striatal dopamine transmission. (365 citations)

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

Paola Piccini mainly investigates Parkinson's disease, Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Dopaminergic and Putamen. Her Parkinson's disease study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Caudate nucleus and Dopamine transporter. Her work on Striatum, Basal ganglia and Positron emission tomography as part of her general Neuroscience study is frequently connected to Clinical neurology, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

Her research investigates the connection with Internal medicine and areas like Endocrinology which intersect with concerns in Serotonergic, Degenerative disease and Serotonin. Her Dopaminergic study is concerned with Dopamine in general. While the research belongs to areas of Putamen, Paola Piccini spends her time largely on the problem of Asymptomatic, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Subclinical infection.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Parkinson's disease (50.89%)
  • Neuroscience (47.32%)
  • Internal medicine (33.93%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Parkinson's disease (50.89%)
  • Internal medicine (33.93%)
  • Neuroscience (47.32%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Parkinson's disease, Internal medicine, Neuroscience, Putamen and Dopaminergic. Pathology covers Paola Piccini research in Parkinson's disease. Her Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Longitudinal study, Endocrinology and Oncology.

Her studies in Neuroscience integrate themes in fields like Molecular imaging and Neuroinflammation, Disease. Paola Piccini has researched Putamen in several fields, including Gastroenterology, Caudate nucleus, Levodopa, Globus pallidus and Voxel. Within one scientific family, Paola Piccini focuses on topics pertaining to Striatum under Dopamine transporter, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Mri scan.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Brain iron chelation by deferiprone in a phase 2 randomised double-blinded placebo controlled clinical trial in Parkinson's disease. (115 citations)
  • Basal ganglia dysfunction in idiopathic REM sleep behaviour disorder parallels that in early Parkinson’s disease (74 citations)
  • Hippocampal Neuroinflammation, Functional Connectivity, and Depressive Symptoms in Multiple Sclerosis (61 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Dopamine
  • Parkinson's disease

Paola Piccini spends much of her time researching Parkinson's disease, Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Putamen and Dopaminergic. Parkinson's disease is a subfield of Pathology that Paola Piccini explores. Her Neuroscience study combines topics in areas such as Molecular imaging and Atypical Parkinsonism.

Her Putamen research integrates issues from Caudate nucleus and Surgery. As part of her research on Dopaminergic, studies on Endocrinology and Dopamine are part of the effort. Her studies deal with areas such as Levodopa and Serotonergic as well as Endocrinology.
