• closedAccess   Afferent projections to the different medial amygdala subdivisions: a retrograde tracing study in the mouse 

      Cádiz-Moretti, Bernardita; Otero García, Marcos; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando; Lanuza, Enrique Springer Berlin Heidelberg (2014-12)
      The medial amygdaloid nucleus (Me) is a key node in the socio-sexual brain, composed of anterior (MeA), posteroventral (MePV) and posterodorsal (MePD) subdivisions. These subdivisions have been suggested to play a different ...
    • openAccess   Comparative Distribution of Relaxin-3 Inputs and Calcium-Binding Protein-Positive Neurons in Rat Amygdala 

      Santos, F. N.; Pereira, C. W.; Sánchez-Pérez, Ana María; Otero García, Marcos; Ma, Sherie; Gundlach, Andrew Lawrence; Olucha-Bordonau, Francisco E Frontiers Media (2016)
      The neural circuits involved in mediating complex behaviors are being rapidly elucidated using various newly developed and powerful anatomical and molecular techniques, providing insights into the neural basis for anxiety ...
    • openAccess   Distribution and targets of the relaxin-3 innervation of the septal area in the rat 

      Sánchez-Pérez, Ana María; Olucha-Bordonau, Francisco E; Otero García, Marcos; Núñez, Ángel; Ma, Sherie; Gundlach, Andrew Lawrence Wiley-Blackwell (2012)
      Neural tracing studies have revealed that the rat medial and lateral septum are targeted by ascending projections from the nucleus incertus, a population of tegmental GABA neurons. These neurons express the relaxin-family ...
    • openAccess   Distribution of oxytocin and co-localization with arginine vasopressin in the brain of mice 

      Otero García, Marcos; Agustín-Pavón, Carmen; Lanuza, Enrique; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Springer Verlag (2015-09-20)
      Oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (AVP) play a major role in social behaviours. Mice have become the species of choice for neurobiology of social behaviour due to identification of mouse pheromones and the advantage of genetically ...
    • closedAccess   Electrolytic lesion of the nucleus incertus retards extinction of auditory conditioned fear 

      Pereira, C. W.; Santos, F. N.; Sánchez-Pérez, Ana María; Otero García, Marcos; Marchioro, M.; Ma, Sherie; Gundlach, Andrew Lawrence; Olucha-Bordonau, Francisco E Elsevier (2013-06-15)
      Fear memory circuits in the brain function to allow animals and humans to recognize putative sources of danger and adopt an appropriate behavioral response; and research on animal models of fear have helped reveal the ...
    • closedAccess   Extending the socio-sexual brain: arginine-vasopressin immunoreactive circuits in the telencephalon of mice 

      Otero García, Marcos; Martín Sánchez, Ana; Fortes Marco, Lluís; Martínez-Ricós, Joana; Agustín-Pavón, Carmen; Lanuza, Enrique; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Springer Berlin Heidelberg (2014-05)
      Quantitative analysis of the immunoreactivity for arginine-vasopressin (AVP-ir) in the telencephalon of male (intact and castrated) and female CD1 mice allows us to precisely locate two sexually dimorphic (more abundant ...
    • openAccess   Madres, Madrinas y Vecinas. Neuroendocrinología del comportamiento maternal en el ratón. 

      Salais López, Hugo; Martín Sánchez, Ana; Otero García, Marcos; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Universitat Jaume I (2016)
      La conducta maternal es algo más que la nutrición y protección de la descendencia. En humanos y otras especies, la desatención maternal provoca cambios epigenéticos que reducen la resistencia al estrés y perpetúan la ...
