Overview

Pierre-Olivier Fernagut is affiliated with the University of Poitiers in France. Their research primarily spans Medicine and Neuroscience, with a focus on Neurology and Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience among other subfields. The main topics of their work include Parkinson's Disease Mechanisms and Treatments, Neurological disorders and treatments, Nuclear Receptors and Signaling, Nerve injury and regeneration, Autism Spectrum Disorder Research, Botulinum Toxin and Related Neurological Disorders, and RNA regulation and disease.

The scientist has contributed notably to several publication venues. Frequent venues include:

  • npj Parkinson s Disease
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology
  • Biomedicines
  • Movement Disorders

Among recent papers authored or co-authored by Pierre-Olivier Fernagut are:

  • Reduced oligodendrocyte exosome secretion in multiple system atrophy involves SNARE dysfunction, 2020, Brain
  • Impaired brain insulin signalling in Parkinson's disease, 2021, Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology
  • Mass spectrometry imaging identifies abnormally elevated brain l -DOPA levels and extrastriatal monoaminergic dysregulation in l -DOPA-induced dyskinesia, 2021, Science Advances
  • Neuropsychiatric and Cognitive Deficits in Parkinson's Disease and Their Modeling in Rodents, 2021, Biomedicines
