Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). Campus de Araraquara. Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas (FCFAR) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biomedicine (2014) from the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU), a Master's degree in Physiological Sciences (2016), and a Ph.D. in Physiological Sciences (2021) from the Interinstitutional Graduate Program in Physiological Sciences UNESP/UFSCar (PIPGCF). During my Ph.D., I worked as a visiting researcher (2018-2019) under the supervision of Professor Mary Kay Lobo at the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology at the School of Medicine, University of Maryland (Baltimore, USA). I worked as a visiting researcher (2022-2023) at the Institute of Life and Health Sciences of the University of Minho (Braga, Portugal) under the supervision of Professor Nuno Sousa. I realized a postdoc (2021-2025) at the Neuropsychopharmacology Laboratory of the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Araraquara/UNESP, under the supervision of Professor Ricardo Luiz Nunes-de-Souza, working on the role of functional lateralization of the medial prefrontal cortex in the emotional consequences of stress. Now I am Professor of Pharmacology at the State University of Maringá. My research focuses on behavioral changes and neuroadaptations related to stress and ethanol dependence. I have experience in the areas of Physiology and Pharmacology, with an emphasis on Neuropsychopharmacology. I mainly develop research in the following topics: stress, drug abuse dependence, neuroadaptations, behavioral changes, ethanol. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Although the known association between stress and the development of psychiatric diseases, not every individual who has experienced adversities develops such diseases. This is related to individual characteristics, which determine how each individual cope and adapts to adversity, leading up to its resilience or susceptibility to the stress. The great prevalence of such diseases, together …
Stress is a general response of the body to exposure to noxious stimuli, which, if prolonged, may lead to the development of cognitive disorders, mood disorders and cardiovascular problems. Nevertheless, not every individual exposed to stress develops diseases. This individual difference may be related to an individual's ability to adapt to aversive events, i.e. their resilience or suscep…
The problems related to the use and abuse of ethanol worsen to the extent that alcohol became increasingly disseminated and consumed on a large scale. Among these problems, addiction is one of the most serious. Its abuse potential is mainly due to its reinforcing properties, crucial in the transition from the use, abuse and dependence. The reinforcing effects of drugs are mainly mediated …
Recently, the importance of the functional lateralization of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in modulating the emotional responses to aversive stimuli has been gaining attention. Results involving the manipulation of the mPFC activity, specifically the prelimbic (PrL) mPFC, suggest that the chronic stress exposure induce long term changes in this region, decreasing the left mPFC (LmPF…
Depression is a serious public health problem intrinsically related to chronic stress exposure. Nevertheless, not every individual exposed to stress develops stress-related disorders. This individual difference may be related to an individual's ability to adapt to aversive events, i.e. their resilience or susceptibility to stress. Recent studies using the animal model of social defeat str…
