Graduated in Pharmacy-Biochemistry from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Ribeirão Preto/University of São Paulo. She completed her master's and PhD at the Laboratory of Pharmacology of Behavior of the Pharmacology Department of the Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto/USP, where she worked with anxiolytic/antidepressant drugs and animal behavior, focusing on defensive reactions associated with anxiety and panic. She has extensive experience in animal behavior analysis and molecular techniques for neural pathway analysis. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

In humans, inhalation of CO2 can trigger anxiety, fear and panic. Recently, it has been demonstrated that microglial pro-inflammatory responses may constitute a unique chemosensory system for the detection of homeostatic threats, such as CO2 inhalation, relevant to the pathophysiology of panic. Astrocytic dysfunction is also known to influence synaptic activity; evidence has shown that as…
This project aims to investigate the role of astrocytes in the locus coeruleus (LC) in response to CO2 exposure, with a focus on sex-specific differences. Using genetically modified mice expressing the GCaMP6f calcium sensor in astrocytes, we will monitor astrocytic calcium dynamics during normocapnia and hypercapnia through Ca2+ time-lapse imaging. Additionally, we will employ the Smart-…
