Prevention of depressive disorders in the elderly: in two Basic Health Units in the low income region of Butanta, in Sao Paulo city, 2,700 individuals 60 years and older, will be screened for the presence of depressive symptoms and/or clinically significant anxiety (CES-D). The subjects selected will be assessed to identify those with sub-threshold symptom levels (of depression and/or anx…
This project aims to strengthen the interaction between two research groups Consolidated with complementary experience in the field of neuroimaging research, implementing a project to study two different disorders: schizophrenia and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder- ADHD. The study with ADHD patients will investigate dysfunctions in specific brain areas involved in the selection o…
The diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a great public health problem, is imprecise and delayed (since the neurodegenerative processes begin years before the appearance of symptoms). The validation of AD biomarkers has the potential to afford early diagnosis and novel treatments. This project aims to investigate, in a multidisciplinary and translational fashion, the accumulation of b-a…

The cerebral hemispheres are asymmetrical, functionally and…

It represents a challenge because it is related to higher prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases; moreover, normal aging is associated with cognitive decline. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides the opportunity to study the brain and the resting-state fMRI has been studied intensively due to its feasibility and potent…
