Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Amauri Gouveia"
- Amauri Gouveia's research primarily focuses on the effects of environmental factors, such as housing density and enrichment, on anxiety and cognitive behaviors in zebrafish, highlighting the significance of these variables in experimental settings to ensure animal wellbeing and the validity of research results.
- Another key theme in Gouveia's work is the exploration of the neuroendocrine systems, like the HPA axis and SAM system, in modulating decision-making under stress, which indicates a complex interaction between biological and psychological processes.
- Gouveia has also investigated the pharmacological modulation of behavior, including the role of cannabinoid receptors and oxidative stress in anxiety-like behaviors, contributing valuable insights into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying stress responses.
