Patrice G. Guyenet is affiliated with the University of Virginia in the United States and conducts research primarily in the fields of neuroscience and medicine. Their scholarly contributions span a multiplicity of areas within neuroscience, with particular emphasis on endocrine and autonomic systems, cognitive neuroscience, and cellular and molecular neuroscience.

Their main topics of research include the neuroscience of respiration and sleep, sleep and wakefulness research, neuroendocrine regulation and behavior, heart rate variability and autonomic control, neonatal respiratory health research, neuropeptides and animal physiology, and circadian rhythm and melatonin.

Frequently publishing in several respected venues, their work appears in:

  • The FASEB Journal
  • The Journal of Physiology
  • Nature
  • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Hypertension

Recent significant papers authored or co-authored by Patrice G. Guyenet include:
