Draulio B. de Araujo received his PhD in Physics Applied to Medicine and Biology. He has held an associate professor position at the Department of Physics, University of Sao Paulo, in Ribeirao Preto, from 2002 to 2009. He currently holds a full professor at the Brain Institute of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. His main area of interest relates to the investigation of the neural basis of the psychedelic ayahuasca using funcional neuroimaging tools such as funcional magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalography. Besides he has been investigating the antidepressant effects of ayahuasca. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Different functional neuroimaging modalities, as Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), have been contributing significantly to the best understanding of some cerebral diseases. However, the correct pattern of the hemodynamic response function (HRF) that follows neuronal activity in an fMRI exam, are not well known. Therefore, the first aim of this project is the development of an …
The brain is vulnerable to sanguineous aport disturb. Nerveless the cerebral vascular system present special characteristics to avoid large circulatory variations. Patients that present cerebrovascular disease, like carotid stenosis, have a cerebral vasoregulation deficit, which can lead to isquemic events. An efficient mechanism to assess the vasorregulatory process is the BOLD effect ut…
Cerebral blood circulation has special characteristics responsible for controlling the relation between functional activity, metabolism and blood flow in the nervous tissue. An important characteristic is the cerebral vasoregulation, responsible for keeping the blood flow constant or for changing it in response to functional necessities. Patients with cerebrovascular diseases, such as car…
