Graduate in psychology at the Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Ribeirão Preto (1970). He obtained his master's at the Pharmacology Graduation program of the Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto - USP (1977) and Ph.D. at the same program (1982). He is a full professor at the University of São Paulo, Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Ribeirão Preto. He has experience in psychology, mainly in psychobiology, with expertise in exploratory behavior and use of space, elevated plus-maze, animal models of anxiety and behavioral drug effects.

This study aims to develop preclinical procedures able to attenuate or prevent the drug-seeking behavior reinstatement. Rats will be trained to self-administrate drugs by pressing a bar in a Skinner box. Each time rat presses the active lever; a pair of events (sound/light) will be on during 6 seconds. 3 seconds after light/sound were on, an infusion pump will be activated by 6 seconds, a…
This project aims to advance current knowledge on the principles that govern the processing of sensory information and behavioral expression, as well as the electro-physiological and neurochemical mechanisms underlying adverse responses associated with fear and anxiety. The studies are arranged in seven large groups representing the behavioral (neurochemical modulation and environmental d…
Although it is generally accepted that memory consolidation and reconsolidation requires regulation of gene expression, only a few transcription factors (TFs) have been clearly demonstrated to be specifically involved in this process. NF-ºB is an evolutionarily conserved family of TFs critically involved in basic cellular mechanisms of the immune response, inflammation, development and ap…
The study aims at selecting two strains of Wistar rats, one with high frequency of anxiety-related behaviors and another with low frequency of anxiety-related behaviors, which then can be used to investigate possible influences of anxiety on learning processes and their correlations with fear and impulsivity. Thus, using time spent in open arm of an elevated plus-maze as criterion, the …
