Introduction
I am a young neuroscientist interested mainly in Learning & Memory, currently working at the Institute of Physiology, Molecular Biology and Neuroscience (IFIByNE), University of Buenos Aires. My research focus on the neurobiological mechanisms of aversive memory persistence after retrieval.

Cognitive abilities of an animal can be influenced by distinct social experiences. However, the extent of this modulation has not been addressed in different learning scenarios: are all tasks similarly affected by social experiences? In the present study, we analyzed the effect of social dominance in aversive and appetitive memory processes in the...
Fully consolidated associative memories may be altered by alternative retrieval dependent
memory processes. While a brief exposure to the conditioned stimulus (CS) can trigger
reconsolidation of the original memory, a prolonged CS exposure will trigger memory
extinction. The conditioned response is maintained after reconsolidation, but is inhibited...
