dos Santos, Raoni

Research Assistant Professor

The overall goal of our laboratory is to understand the mechanisms through which the brain controls behavior. We are particularly interested in unraveling how challenges to physiology affect the neural circuits responsible for the stress response and for the control of motivated behaviors, such as feeding and drinking.
