Master in Neuroscience and Cognition at Federal University of ABC (UFABC) and Bachelor in Science and Technology and Neuroscience at UFABC. I have experience with the MAM (methylazoxymethanol acetate) animal model of schizophrenia and the prepulse inhibition test. During the master degree I worked with computational model of prepulse inhibition, investigating the effect of dopaminergic transmission and possible associations between alterations in dopaminergic transmission and schizophrenia. Currently working with computational modelling of astrocytes investigating the impact of dopaminergic transmission over the intracellular calcium dynamics in these cells and its effect over working memory.

The working memory is a cognitive function characterized by the temporary maintenance of information to perform a task. This function is extremely important for everyday tasks. In general, during working memory tests the subject must temporarily maintain an information and then use it to perform the task. Oscillatory activity in prefrontal cortex (PFC), dopaminergic transmission and astro…
The causes of schizophrenia remain unknown. Some well-established facts are the dopaminergic hyperfunction and the hypofunction of the glutamatergic system in specific regions. One evidence of neurochemical modifications is the loss of the expression of GABAergic paraybumin positive (PV +) interneurons. In addition, the reduction of glutathione (GSH)is verified in postmortem analyzes of s…
Astrocytes have gained attention in recent years by their role in cognitive and brain functions. Astrocytes respond to neurotransmitters released by neurons, such as glutamate anddopamine, increasing their intracellular Ca2+ concentration. The mechanisms that generate the Ca2+ responses are dependent on the cell morphology and biophysical parameters. Previous computational models that sim…
