Hercílio Silva Jr.

Hercílio Silva Jr’s research interests are focused on behavioral and neurophysiological alterations caused by neurologic (stroke, TBI, neurodevelopmental disorders) and psychiatric (depression, anxiety, etc.) conditions and on the use of non-invasive brain stimulation as an approach for neurorehabilitation. He is currently investigating the effects of transcranial electric stimulation on depressive symptoms and neurophysiological biomarkers of adults who experienced childhood adversity.
