Biography
I was born and raised in Mexico City. I received a Bachelors (Hons) in Psychology from the National Autonomous Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Mexico in 1998. I obtained a MSc. (Neuroscience) in 2000 and a PhD (Neuroscience) in 2004 from the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge. I continued on to a postdoctoral position at The Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Western Ontario 2004-2008. I joined the department of Kinesiology as a Canada Research Chair in August 2009.
