• 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   From sexual attraction to maternal aggression: When pheromones change their behavioural significance 

      Martín Sánchez, Ana; McLean, Lynn; Beynon, Robert J.; Hurst, Jane L.; Ayala Gallego, Guillermo; Lanuza, Enrique; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Elsevier (2015-02)
      This article is part of a Special Issue “Chemosignals and Reproduction”. This paper reviews the role of chemosignals in the socio-sexual interactions of female mice, and reports two experiments testing the role of ...
    • openAccess   Lack of MeCP2 leads to region-specific increase of doublecortin in the olfactory system 

      Martínez-Rodríguez, Elena; Martín Sánchez, Ana; Coviello, Simona; Foiani, Cristina; Kul, Emre; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando; Nacher, Juan; Lanuza, Enrique; Santos, Mónica; Agustín-Pavón, Carmen Springer (2019-05)
      The protein doublecortin is mainly expressed in migrating neuroblasts and immature neurons. The X-linked gene MECP2, associated to several neurodevelopmental disorders such as Rett syndrome, encodes the protein methyl-CpG-binding ...

      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 ...
    • openAccess   Male-specific features are reduced in Mecp2-null mice: analyses of vasopressinergic innervation, pheromone production and social behaviour 

      Martínez-Rodríguez, Elena; Martín Sánchez, Ana; Kul, Emre; Bose, Aparajita; Martínez-Martínez, Francisco José; Stork, Oliver; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando; Lanuza, Enrique; Santos, Mónica; Agustín-Pavón, Carmen Springer (2020-08-04)
      Deficits in arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OT), two neuropeptides closely implicated in the modulation of social behaviours, have been reported in some early developmental disorders and autism spectrum disorders. ...
    • openAccess   Sex pheromones are not always attractive: changes induced by learning and illness in mice 

      Lanuza, Enrique; Martín Sánchez, Ana; Marco Monclús, Pau; Cádiz-Moretti, Bernardita; Fortes Marco, Lluís; Hernández Martínez, Adoración; McLean, Lynn; Beynon, Robert J.; Hurst, Jane L.; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Elsevier (2014-11)
      A male-specific major urinary protein named darcin is attractive to female mice, Mus musculus, stimulates a learned attraction to volatile components of a male's urinary odour and induces spatial learning. In this article ...
    • openAccess   Wired for motherhood: induction of maternal care but not maternal aggression in virgin female CD1 mice 

      Martín Sánchez, Ana; Valera Marín, Guillermo; Hernández Martínez, Adoración; Lanuza, Enrique; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando; Agustín-Pavón, Carmen Frontiers Media (2015)
      Virgin adult female mice display nearly spontaneous maternal care towards foster pups after a short period of sensitization. This indicates that maternal care is triggered by sensory stimulation provided by the pups and ...
