López Hidalgo received her baccalaureate in biomedicine at the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP) and, afterwards, obtained a master's degree and doctorate at the Neurobiology Institute of the National Autonomous University of Mexico Juriquilla campus (Spanish: Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, UNAM). She also completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Neuroscience at the Max Planck Institute in Florida.
Her line of research is based on studying the importance and the relationship of astrocytes in cognitive functions such as learning, memory, and focus.[2] At the same time, she conducted research on the mechanisms that lead to age-associated deterioration of cognitive and motor function, with the goal of preventing or lessening this deterioration.
