Predoctoral researcher
Successful aging
PhD student in Psychology at the UCM, with a Master’s degree in Neuroscience from the UCM, and a graduate in Psychology from the UFV.
She is currently working on her doctoral thesis under the supervision of Dr. López, with a UCM-Santander predoctoral fellowship. She studies possible determinants of successful cognitive aging and risk/protective factors in neurodegeneration in older adults with healthy aging and mild cognitive impairment. Along with other C3N researchers, she is also delving into the excitation/inhibition balance and the differences in brain electrophysiological activity between resting with eyes open and closed (OA/OC).
She joined the C3N in 2022 to complete her Master’s Thesis on the description of the OA/OC index as a biomarker of brain health, supervised by Dr. Cuesta. She subsequently collaborated on an international project to study biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease progression.
Her career began in 2020, in a training program under the supervision of Dr. Molina, and she collaborated with the IPSE group (UFV-UNED) in the study of psychological variables of active aging. Subsequently, under the JAE Intro program, she joined the Basal Ganglia Neurobiology group at the Cajal Institute-CSIC, under the supervision of Dr. Moratalla, and participated in the study of possible neuronal causes of depression/anxiety comorbidity in Parkinson’s disease.
