Universidade Federal do ABC (UFABC). Centro de Matemática, Computação e Cognição (CMCC) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Graduated in Pharmacy from Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (1998), Master's in Psychobiology from Federal University of São Paulo (2001) and Ph.D. in Psychobiology from Federal University of São Paulo (2007). She held a postdoctoral degree at University Medical Center Groningen, UMCG, Netherlands, in the field of Learning and Memory (2009-2011). She has experience in Psychobiology, with an emphasis on Neuropsychopharmacology, working mainly on the following topics: emotional memory, stress and memory, psychopharmacology of memory. She is currently an Associate Professor at the Center for Mathematics, Computing and Cognition at the Federal University of ABC. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

This project addresses the current needs of the Center for Mathematics, Computation, and Cognition (CMCC) at UFABC. The proposal focuses on: (1) purchasing equipment to upgrade the Laboratory of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics; (2) maintaining equipment in the wet labs for cognition in the Delta Building; (3) acquiring equipment for data collection/analysis using eyetracking and …
Several studies have shown that glucocorticoids (cortisol in humans and corticosterone - CORT - in rats), released during emotional or stressful situations, improve memory. The CORT hormone acts in different brain regions, including the hippocampus, to increase the consolidation of various types of memory tasks, such as the contextual fear conditioning (CFC). Some evidence indicates that …
Episodic or contextual memories are long-term explicit memories that contain specific information about the space and time (context) of the event that generated their acquisition, with the characteristic of losing specificity as they mature. Changes occurring in the neural circuits involved in the encoding, storage, and retrieval of memories are called systemic memory consolidation. Brain…
Stressful situations, such as the contextual fear conditioning training (CFC), elicit the release of glucocorticoids. These hormones bind to glucocorticoid receptors (GR) in the central nervous system, and modulate the consolidation of the memory trace created during the training. Over time, the emotional memory will undergo systems consolidation, a process by which memory dependence is r…
Episodic or contextual memories are explicit long-term memories with specific information about space and time (context) of the event that generated their acquisition. These memories are modulated by the adrenal hormone Corticosterone (CORT). Studies suggest that type II glucocorticoid receptors, known as GRs, are present in high density in the hippocampus, amygdala and prefrontal cortex,…

These hormones bind to glucocorticoid receptors (GR) in the central nervous system and modulate the consolidation of the memory trace created during the training.

Memories for emotionally arousing experiences are more remembered when compared to memories for emotionally neutral events. Epinephrine released as a response to sympathetic nervous system activation during stressful events plays an important role in modulating the consolidation of episodic memories. The increased in peripheral levels of epinephrine induce an enhancement in norepinephrine…

Learning situations prompt changes in neurons and synapses in several encephalic areas. The changes that happen in these different brain regions are called memory consolidation. At first, the main theory on systems memory consolidation was called the standard model. This model suggests that contextual memories start the consolidation process in the hippocampus and, after some time, the co…
