Earned her doctorate at the School of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo, Brazil. The main focus of her research was the relationship between hypoxia, inflammation and changes in the autonomic nervous system. Currently she is a postdoctoral fellow at the Dalton Cardiovascular Research Centre, University of Missouri, USA. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Sustained hypoxia activate the peripheral chemoreceptors to produce autonomic and respiratory responses to bring back to normal the pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood. The first synapses of the afferents of the peripheral chemoreceptors are in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). These synapses are involved by astrocytes and constitute the synpases tripartite. The interaction of as…
The Nucleus Tractus Solitarius (NTS) is a critical central region for cardiorespiratory control. The neurons in this region receive information from peripheral chemoreceptors, the main sensors of the chemical composition of the blood, and connect to medullary nuclei responsible for the generation and modulation of sympathetic and respiratory activity. In situations of hypoxia, in which th…
Rats submitted to Sustained hypoxia (SH - 24 h) presented increase in the excitatory synaptic transmission in the Nucleus Tractus Solitarius (NTS) neurons. SH is also associated with inflammation in the central nervous system. It is know that inflammatory mediators may act as neuromodulators facilitating excitatory goal transmission and changing the excitability of the neurons. Therefore,…
