Gonçalo Oliveira

Gonçalo Oliveira’s research interests focus on the study of physiological bases of behavior. His past approach underpins the role of hormones in supporting different type of behaviors. More recently he is investigating the affective and neurophysiological mechanisms of cognitive control by combining human and non-human animal research. His research aims to clarify how feelings modulate cognitive control and to identify unknown neural dynamics of the initiation and maintenance of cognitive control in a rodent animal model.
