  • 1952 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

Robert W. Greene is affiliated with The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on neuroscience, with a substantial body of work in cognitive neuroscience, endocrine and autonomic systems, cellular and molecular neuroscience, experimental and cognitive psychology, and molecular biology.

The main topics in Greene's research include sleep and wakefulness research, circadian rhythm and melatonin, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, sleep and related disorders, genetics and neurodevelopmental disorders, memory and neural mechanisms, and regulation of appetite and obesity.

Greene's recent papers cover diverse areas related to sleep and neural function. These include:

  • An essential role for MEF2C in the cortical response to loss of sleep in mice, 2020, eLife
  • Loss of Arc attenuates the behavioral and molecular responses for sleep homeostasis in mice, 2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Interaction between cocaine use and sleep behavior: A comprehensive review of cocaine's disrupting influence on sleep behavior and sleep disruptions influence on reward seeking, 2021, Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior
  • Sleeping Sickness Disrupts the Sleep-Regulating Adenosine System, 2020, Journal of Neuroscience
  • Norepinephrine transporter antagonism prevents dopamine-dependent synaptic plasticity in the mouse dorsal hippocampus, 2020, Neuroscience Letters

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Greene include:

  • Theresa E. Bjorness
  • Kaspar E. Vogt
  • Ashwinikumar Kulkarni
  • Geneviève Konopka
  • Sarah Običan

Greene has published frequently in venues such as eLife, Birth Defects Research, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Frontiers in Neuroscience, and SLEEP.

Among the recognitions received, Greene was named Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 1952.
