An increasing number of studies have indicated regular physical activity as a cost-effective and promising strategy for promoting brain health throughout life. Despite the current knowledge of the beneficial effects of physical exercise on the brain, many issues still need to be addressed, such as its neuroprotective effects on aging. Prospective studies demonstrate that regular exercise …
This first collaboration project in stereology advances the knowledge introduced in 2003 at UNIFESP, through the course Stereological Methods in Structural Biology, aligned with the constant evolution of methodologies and quantitative microscopy tools used in 3D/4D, requiring frequent updating. Post-graduate students (master's and doctoral levels), post-doctoral fellows, researchers and p…
Combinations of antiepileptogenic and neuroprotective strategies for preventing and treating epilepsy have been investigated. In this regard, physical exercise can be a potential candidate to be integrated as complementary therapy for preventing or treating epilepsy. The beneficial effects of exercise for people with epilepsy have been increasingly reported, including reduction of seizure…
The scientific literature has extensively documented the beneficial effects of physical exercise on brain function. Physical exercise has the ability to improve the cognitive function, decrease age-related memory loss, delay the onset of neurodegenerative diseases, facilitate recovery after brain injury and improve depressive symptoms. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs of appr…

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a relationship between prenatal infection and neurodevelopmental disorders in the offspring. Corroborating these findings, animal studies have shown that offspring of mothers exposed to pathogens or immune activating agents during pregnancy present several behavioral, biochemical and neuroanatomic changes. In this sense, prenatal infection induced…

Depression has emerged over the past decades as a leading cause of disability worldwide with a high prevalence in western populations, resulting in profound socioeconomic burden. Although the etiology of depression remains elusive, a growing body of evidence has indicated that disturbances in processes such as neurogenesis, monoaminergic neurotransmission and neurotrophic factor signaling…
Environmental factors such as prenatal stress in animals can induce alterations in the development of nervous system and consequently increase seizures susceptibility and the development of epilepsy of offspring in the early and later stages of life. Further, the developing brain in the postnatal period presents increased susceptibility to seizures, depending on brain development phase. R…
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of neurological damage and disability among pediatric and adult population. The deleterious effects of TBI on memory processes are well documented. Physical exercise is known to improve many aspects of brain function and to ameliorate neurologic impairment induced by various brain insults, including TBI. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-codi…
