Birthplace: Brazil

Currently pursuing a PhD in Pharmacology (FAPESP 21/12488-4) in the Institute of Biomedical Sciences of the University of Sao Paulo (ICB/USP) at the Laboratory of Neuroendocrine pharmacology and Immunomodulation where he also developed his undergraduate project (scientific initiation with FAPESP award). . Both PhD and undergraduate projects are in the field of Stress and Anxiety Neurobiology. Has a bachelor degree in Fundamental Health Sciences in the ICB/USP. During his bachelor, he also accomplished a research internship in the University of Alberta, Canada. During his technical High school, he developed a junior scientific initiation project (with PIBIC-EM award) in the Institute of Education, Science and Technology (IFSP). Finally, he highlights his broad interest in neurosciences, focused in electrophisiology, stress, anxiety, memory disorders and bioinformatics, pharmacology and scientific communication.

Abstract
Aversive memory dysregulation is crucial in stress or anxiety disorders, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and the extinction of the patient's traumatic memories is part of its treatment. The mechanisms by which an aversive memory is extinguished are not fully understood; however, stress is an essential modulator of these processes and can, among other consequences, cause a d…

Abstract
Anxiety disorders generate a range of behavioral responses to danger triggered by innocuous and unpredictable stimuli. Both acute stress and elevated concentrations of glucocorticoid hormones (GCs) promote persistent anxiety-related behavior as well as increased density of dendritic spines in the basolateral amygdala complex (BLA) in rats. BLA is a key structure for fear behavior and anxi…
