ANDREA GODINO
Associate Researcher CONICET
Adjunct professor of Experimental Psychobiology, Facultad de Psicología. Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.
The group led by Dr. Godino study the neuroendocrine mechanisms and brain neurochemical circuits that control both salt intake and the onset of sodium appetite induced by hyponatremia, and try to elucidate the impact of voluntary maternal salt intake on the different players in the control of water-electrolyte balance and blood pressure regulation in their offspring. Both approaches are key to proposing corrective behaviors and/or treatments for sodium imbalances.
