Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Instituto de Biologia (IB) (Institutional affiliation for the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Received his B.Sc degree in the Biological Sciences from the University of Campinas (Brazil). Dr. Papes got his Ph.D degree in Genetics and Molecular Biology from the same university. He did his post-doctoral studies under Dr. Catherine Dulac (Harvard University) and Dr. Lisa Stowers (Scripps Research Institute). His projects focuses on the molecular biology and evolution of the olfactory sensory system in mammals and on neurological genetic diseases in humans. Dr. Papes is an Associate Professor in the Department of Genetics, Evolution, Microbiology and Immunology, at the Institute of Biology, University of Campinas, Brazil. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Autism-spectrum disorders impact millions of individuals worldwide, representing a heavy toll on affected children, their families, and the health system. Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome (PTHS), one of the few diseases in the spectrum with known genetic etiology, is characterized by severe intellectual disability and cognitive impairment, pronounced developmental and motor delays, absence of spoken…
Accurately sensing and interpreting social cues is critical to trigger appropriate behavior. It is known that previous social experiences change interpretation of sensory cues from the environment and alter subsequent behavior, either by the influence of memory or by the action of hormones which modulate specific brain networks. Sensory perception and behavioral output in response to soci…
Background: Olfaction is a fundamental sense through which most animals perceive the external world. The olfactory system detects odors via specialized sensory organs such as the main olfactory epithelium and the vomeronasal organ. Sensory neurons in these organs use G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) to detect chemosensory stimuli. The odorant receptor (OR) family is expressed in sensory…
A fundamental property of the nervous system in all animal species is the transformation of sensory stimuli into neural activity, leading to the generation of behavioral and endocrine changes in response to the initial stimulation. Over the last decades, great efforts have been taken to molecularly characterize each of the mammalian sensory systems (visual, auditory, olfactory, somatosens…
Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome (PTHS) is a rare neglected neurological childhood disease, characterized by intellectual disability, absence of language, developmental delay, and a characteristic facial gestalt. PTHS is caused by haploinsufficiency of the TCF4 gene, which codes for a transcription factor shown to be involved in regulating proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells…
The olfactory system controls a series of endocrine and behavioral changes in mammals, including humans. It is known that female fertility is controlled by hormones produced in areas of the brain closely related to the olfactory system, including gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH)-producing neurons. However, the mechanisms by which olfaction and chemical information detected by the or…
The olfactory system is a sensory system capable of detecting environmental chemical cues, leading to the sensation of an odor and/or behavioral and endocrine changes. In order to perform these functions, this system comprises two olfactory organs, the main olfactory epithelium and the vomeronasal organ, found in the nasal cavity of mammals. Recently, a huge variety of long non-coding RNA…

One of the most remarkable adaptations of animals is the ability to perceive and adequately respond to sensory stimuli in their environment. An important type of sensory cue are odors, which are detected by the olfactory system, and can convey a wide variety of information such as food presence and quality, potential mates and predators. It has been shown that different odors may also mod…
