He holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of São Paulo (1997), as well as a Master's and Ph.D. in Neuroscience and Behavior from the same institution. Currently, he serves as an Assistant Professor at São Paulo State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho, where he also heads the Department of Psychology and coordinates the Laboratory for Behavior Analysis and Neuroscience (LACEN). Additionally, he is a principal advisor in the Graduate Program in Neuroscience and Behavior at the Institute of Psychology, University of São Paulo. His scholarly expertise encompasses Psychology, with specific emphasis on Experimental Analysis of Behavior and Psychopharmacology. His research interests include impulsivity, delay discounting, depression, substance abuse, behavioral addictions, and reinforcement sensitivity. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by hyperactivity, impulsive behavior and sustained attention deficit. Recent etiological theories implicate changes on reinforcement sensitivity as a core process in ADHD. Spontaneously Hyperactive Rat is a lineage widely used as an animal model of ADHD. Research with SHR had find changes on rei…

This project is an experimental study that aims to compare the effects of Extinction and Aversive Stimulation contingencies on aggressive behaviors and feelings of anger, through the perspective of Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB). So, emotions are forms of behavior under the control of environmental contexts. Aggressive behavior can be related to Extinction or Aversive Stimulation…
This research project aims to investigate the effect of delayed reinforcement on behavior acquisition in SHR rats, an animal model of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The study is based on the hypothesis that spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) exhibit more pronounced reinforcement delay gradients, which may negatively impact the acquisition of new behaviors. The respons…
Caffeine is, probably, the most widely consumed stimulant in the world. One of its behavioral effects is the development of impulsive behavior; more precisely, impulsive action. Impulsive action, also known as inhibition or motor impulsivity, refers to a dimension of impulsivity phenomenon defined by the incapacity to stop emitting a response or to interrupt a response that already starte…
The search proposes the study about choice behavior by delay discounting paradigm. This paradigm analyze how reinforcement or punishment stimulus delay affects choices between immediate or delayed consequences. Researches show that choices can be classified in different patterns. There are numerous experimental methods which have been used to assess this behavior. Some of these procedures…
Changes in the organism associated with sugar consumption directly impact one's behavior. In the literature, it is possible to find similarities between said changes and those following drug use, including its addictive potential and withdrawal effects. Furthermore, it is possible to observe studies establishing the causes between high-sugar diets and increased impulsivity. In that sense,…
