He receiver form the Congragation of the Veterinary Scholl the Title of Emeritus Professor in November, 2022. Undergraduate studies performed at the School of Veterinary Medicine of the University of São Paulo (1968), MS in Psychopharmacology and PhD in Pharmacology at the Federal University of São Paulo in 1970 and 1972, respectively. Large experience in Pharmacology and Toxicology matters, focusing on Neuropsicopharmacology and Neuroimmunemodulation and Pharmacology Applied to Food Producing Animals.

Stress is a reality worldwide in poultry production. It is known that in stressful environments there is loss to welfare, productivity and immunity of broilers, resulting in an increased susceptibility of birds to diseases. Neuroimmunomodulation is the scientific area that studies the mutual relationships between the Central Nervous System and the Immune System. In our laboratories, we ob…
The gut-brain axis is known to modulate behavioral and immune responses in animals; evidence supporting this modulation in chickens, however, is elusive. Here, we analyzed the effects of heat stress and/or Clostridium perfringens (CP) infection on behavior, intestinal morphology, brain activity and corticosterone serum levels in chickens. Broilers were randomly divided into 5 equal groups…
The notion that cytokines play a relevant role as mediators among immune, endocrine and nervous system as well as the bidirectional nature of these relationships are now well established. The discovery of common receptors for cytokines and neurotransmitters on nervous and immune cells and the presence of neurotransmitters on lymphoid organs support the existence of these relationships. Cy…

Poultry industry stands out in agriculture and livestock world scenario for its high productivity and technification. In order to reach these productive levels, the animals frequently undergo stressful management conditions, which results is the activation of the Hypothalamic-Hypophysis-Adrenal axis and the Sympathetic Nervous System, leading to behavioral, nervous and immunological chan…
Recent studies have shown the importance of the complex and reciprocal interactions between the central nervous system (CNS) and immune (SI), which as called psychoneuroimmunology or neuroimmunomodulation. Stressful situations attest the existence of the neuroimmune interactions, observed during the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and the Autonomic Nervous System Sy…
Neuroimmunomodulation studies showed the existence of a tied and bidirectional relationship between the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Immune System (IS); the major links of these interconnected systems are thought to be the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the sympathetic autonomous nervous system (SNAS). Corticosterone and catecholamines were shown to play relevant an…

Type 1 narcolepsy is a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy and hypocretin deficiency. Several lines of evidence indicate that type 1 narcolepsy is an autoimmune disorder that could be triggered by multiple genetic (HLA DQB1*06:02) and environmental factors (previous infections and vaccines). Although no clear immune mechanism has been established for th…
Environmental stressors, i.e heat stress, impair welfare, performance parameters and immunity in broiler chickens. The neuroimmunomodulation is defined as the interrelationships between the Central Nervous System and the Immune System, acting in the HPA axis releasing corticosterone and in Sympathetic nervous system releasing noradrenaline. Moreover, stressful events have been associated…
The bidirectional relationships between the nervous and immune systems are of great importance for the maintenance of homeostasis. Our laboratory showed that the long-term cohabitation with a sick partner (injected with Ehrlich tumor cells) produced behavioral, neurochemical, endocrinological and immunological changes. In particular, we reported an increase in locomotor activity and on hy…
