Short presentation
I am a researcher investigating the intricate relationship between sleep and health.
I hold a Bachelor's in Biomedical Sciences and both a Master’s and Ph.D. in Psychobiology from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, with an emphasis on neurophysiology. I have experience in both human and animal experimentation, focusing on the neuropharmacology and neurophysiology of memory, anxiety, and sleep.
