Overview

Etienne Challet is affiliated with the University of Strasbourg in France. Their research primarily focuses on neuroscience and medicine, with a particular emphasis on endocrine and autonomic systems, physiology, and cognitive neuroscience, alongside cellular and molecular neuroscience and social psychology as subfields.

The scientist has contributed extensively to topics centered on circadian rhythm and melatonin, dietary effects on health, and sleep and wakefulness research. Additional research interests include photoreceptor and optogenetics studies, diet and metabolism, genetics and aging in model organisms, and neurobiology related to insect physiology.

Etienne Challet's recent publications demonstrate a focus on the circadian system, energy metabolism, and behavior. Key works include:

  • Melatonin and the circadian system: Keys for health with a focus on sleep (2021), published in Handbook of Clinical Neurology
  • Reciprocal Interactions between Circadian Clocks, Food Intake, and Energy Metabolism (2023), published in Biology
  • Prefrontal cortex molecular clock modulates development of depression-like phenotype and rapid antidepressant response in mice (2024), published in Nature Communications
  • Melatonin rhythm and other outputs of the master circadian clock in the desert goat (Capra hircus) are entrained by daily cycles of ambient temperature (2020), published in Journal of Pineal Research
  • Distinct feedback actions of behavioural arousal to the master circadian clock in nocturnal and diurnal mammals (2021), published in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews

Collaborations are a significant aspect of Challet's work. Frequent co-authors include Paul Pévet, Hicham Farsi, Mohamed Rachid Achaâban, Mohammed Piro, and Khalid El Allali.

Etienne Challet has published frequently in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Médecine du Sommeil, IBRO Neuroscience Reports, Journal of Pineal Research, and Scientific Reports.
