With the Confocal Microscope, together with the Electron and the Scanning Microscope recently acquired via projeto INFRA-USP, also from Carl Zeiss, it will be possible in the future to integrate both microscopes functionally, since both possess a communication module that affords dual analyses of fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy images. With that, it will be possible to perfo…
The allocation of funds for repairing and maintenancing of equipments is critical to research. The renovation of laboratories is a constant need of Institute of Biosciences and becomes even more necessary with the increase of the number of researchers working in IB (professors, graduate students, undergraduate students and postdocs).

Improve the research infrastructure of the Institute of Biosciences USP (IB-USP), in order to provide better conditions for the development of research activities conducted by faculty and students from 5 Departments Institute (8otany, Ecology, Physiology, Genetics and Biology Evolutionary and Zoology). Updating and modernizing the center of microscopy and image Biosciences Institute…

Orienting of attention in humans is believed to occur in two different ways: endogenously (or voluntary) or exogenously (or automatic). In Posner's spatial cueing paradigm, centrally presented predictive symbolic cues decrease the reaction time (RT) to targets when they are indicated correctly in comparison to when they are indicated incorrectly. This RT's difference, called validity effe…
The occurrence of adult neurogenesis has been reported in several higher vertebrate species, including human beings. In mammals, this process occurs in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricle and in the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus. In rodents, adult neurogenesis in the SVZ seems to be related to the maintenance of the number of cells in bo…
This project aims at evaluating to which extent the students' interests in topics discussed in class play a motivational role, thus modulating orientation of attention. Participants interested in a Physics topic but not in a Biology topic, and other participants interested in a Biology topic but not in a Physics topic, will watch to a video class in Biology and another in Physics, both wi…

Orienting of attention in humans is believed to occur in two different ways: endogenously (or voluntary) or exogenously (or automatic). In spatial cueing task, centrally presented symbolic cues would orient attention in a controlled (voluntary) manner that requires effort and takes more time (hundreds of milliseconds). However, recent studies show that automatic orienting may also occur w…
