Carlos Eduardso Dias de Toledo works at BRAINN. The Brazilian Institute of Neuroscience and Neurotechnology (BRAINN) is a FAPESP-funded institute that investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying epilepsy and stroke, as well as lesions associated with these diseases. Our studies integrate genetics, neurobiology, pharmacology, neuroimaging, computer science, robotics, physics and engineering, all in a quest to better understand the human brain.The research have powerful implications in preventing, diagnosing and treating brain diseases, in addition to rehabilitating patients, and are the basis for a deeper comprehension of brain functions, both in normal and pathological conditions. BRAINN’s main motivation is the necessity to face these complex and relevant biological problems; in order to do that, we reunite in a single place the brainpower and expertise of diverse research groups with distinct and complimentary characteristics.
