Summary:
- Dr. Fernanda Barros-Aragão is a postdoctoral fellow at Queen's University, specializing in neuroscience and the impact of early-life experiences on brain development.
- Her research focuses on understanding how stress and adversity during critical periods of brain development can lead to long-term changes in brain structure and function, which may contribute to the development of mental health disorders.
- By using advanced neuroimaging techniques and animal models, Dr. Barros-Aragão aims to identify potential interventions or preventative strategies that could help mitigate the negative effects of early-life stress and promote healthy brain development.
