Ana Rita Moreira is currently a Master’s student in Health Sciences at the School of Medicine, University of Minho (UM), where she is developing her master’s thesis, titled “Influence of Sex and Gender on Stress Considering Behavioral and Neuroimaging Measures” at the Life and Health Research Institute (ICVS) under the supervision of Maria Picó-Pérez (PhD) and Pedro Morgado (MD, PhD). This study is being conducted in collaboration with 2CA–Braga, Braga’s Hospital, and its main objective is to explore the influence of sex and gender on the stress response by analyzing the association between sex and gender-related variables, perceived and physiological stress, and neuroimaging measures, acquired through multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Ultimately, this thesis aims to provide a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the stress response to improve personalized healthcare.
