• closedAccess   Beyond the basal ganglia: cFOS expression in the cerebellum in response to acute and chronic dopaminergic alterations 

      Herrera-Meza, G.; Aguirre Manzo, Luisa; Coria Ávila, Genaro A.; López Meraz, María Leonor; Toledo, Rebeca; Manzo, Jorge; García, Luis I.; MIQUEL, MARTA Elsevier (2014)
      The suggestion of an anatomical and functional relationship between the basal ganglia and cerebellum is recent. Traditionally, these structures were considered as neuronal circuits working separately to organize and control ...
    • closedAccess   Brain activation by an olfactory stimulus paired with juvenile play in female rats 

      Paredes Ramos, Pedro; Bowers, J. M.; McCarthy, M. M.; MIQUEL, MARTA; Manzo, Jorge; Coria Ávila, Genaro A. Elsevier (2014)
      We have previously shown that reward experienced during social play at juvenile age can be paired with artificial odors, and later in adulthood facilitate olfactory conditioned partner preferences (PP) in female rats. ...
    • openAccess   Cerebellar hallmarks of conditioned preference for cocaine 

      Carbó Gas, María; Vázquez Sanromán, Dolores; Gil-Miravet, Isis; De las Heras-Chanes, Joan; Coria Ávila, Genaro A.; Manzo, Jorge; Sanchis-Segura, Carla; MIQUEL, MARTA Elsevier (2014)
      Pavlovian conditioning tunes the motivational drive of drug-associated stimuli, fostering the probability of those environmental stimuli to promote and trigger drug seeking and taking. Interestingly, different areas in ...
    • openAccess   Conducta sexual y neurogénesis adulta: ¿por qué estudiar el cerebelo? 

      Aguirre, Carmen; Vázquez Sanromán, Dolores; Coria Ávila, Genaro A.; Toledo, Rebeca; López Meraz, María Leonor; Manzo, Jorge; MIQUEL, MARTA Universidad Veracruzana, Dirección General de Investigaciones (2011)
      La neurogénesis adulta es la formación de nuevas neuronas en cerebro adulto y constituye una respuesta de adaptación al ambiente o a cambios impuestos sobre la fisiología neuronal. Su regulación se lleva a cabo por factores ...
    • openAccess   Have we been ignoring the elephant in the room? Seven arguments for considering the cerebellum as part of addiction circuitry 

      MIQUEL, MARTA; Vázquez Sanromán, Dolores; Carbó Gas, María; Gil-Miravet, Isis; Sanchis-Segura, Carla; Carulli, Daniela; Manzo, Jorge; Coria Ávila, Genaro A. Elsevier (2016)
      Addiction involves alterations in multiple brain regions that are associated with functions such as memory, motivation and executive control. Indeed, it is now well accepted that addictive drugs produce long-lasting molecular ...
    • openAccess   Involving the cerebellum in cocaine-induced memory: pattern of CFOS expression in mice trained to acquire conditioned preference for cocaine 

      Carbó Gas, María; Vázquez Sanromán, Dolores; Aguirre Manzo, Luisa; Coria Ávila, Genaro A.; Manzo, Jorge; Sanchis-Segura, Carla; MIQUEL, MARTA Wiley (2014-01)
      Because of its primary role in drug-seeking, consumption and addictive behaviour, there is a growing interest in identifying the neural circuits and molecular mechanisms underlying the formation, maintenance and retrieval ...
    • closedAccess   Juvenile play conditions sexual partner preference in adult female rats 

      Paredes Ramos, Pedro; MIQUEL, MARTA; Manzo, Jorge; Coria Ávila, Genaro A. Elsevier (2011)
      Rats can display a conditioned partner preference for individuals that bear an odor previously associated with sexual reward. Herein we tested the possibility that odors associated with the reward induced by social play in ...
    • closedAccess   Multiunit Recording of the Cerebellar Cortex, Inferior Olive, and Fastigial Nucleus During Copulation in Naive and Sexually Experienced Male Rats 

      García Martínez, Rolando; MIQUEL, MARTA; García, Luis I.; Coria Ávila, Genaro A.; Pérez-Estudillo, César A.; Aranda Abreu, Gonzalo E.; Toledo, Rebeca; Hernández, María Elena; Manzo, Jorge Springer-Verlag (2010-03)
      The sexual behavior of male rats constitutes a natural model to study learning of motor skills at the level of the central nervous system. We previously showed that sexual behavior increases Fos expression in granule cells ...
    • openAccess   Neurobiology of social attachments 

      Coria Ávila, Genaro A.; Manzo, Jorge; García, Luis I.; Carrillo, Porfirio; MIQUEL, MARTA; Pfaus, James G. Elsevier (2014)
      Many types of social attachments can be observed in nature. We discuss the neurobiology of two types (1) intraspecific (with a partner) and (2) parental (with the offspring). Stimuli related to copulation facilitate the ...
    • closedAccess   Sexual reward induces Fos In the cerebellum of female rats 

      Paredes Ramos, Pedro; Pfaus, James G.; MIQUEL, MARTA; Manzo, Jorge; Coria Ávila, Genaro A. Elsevier (2011)
      The cerebellum is generally considered a neural structure specialized in motor control and recent imaging data suggest its role in sexual behavior. Herein, we analyzed the pattern of Fos immunoreactivity (Fos-IR) in the ...
    • closedAccess   Tickling in juvenile but not adult female rats conditions sexual partner preference 

      Paredes Ramos, Pedro; MIQUEL, MARTA; Manzo, Jorge; Pfaus, James G.; López Meraz, María Leonor; Coria Ávila, Genaro A. Elsevier (2012)
      Female rats display a conditioned partner preference for males that bear odors paired with different types of rewarding unconditioned stimuli (UCS). Here we examined whether tickling constitutes a rewarding UCS that supports ...
    • openAccess   Why should we keep the cerebellum in mind when thinking about addiction? 

      MIQUEL, MARTA; Toledo, Rebeca; García, Luis I.; Coria Ávila, Genaro A.; Manzo, Jorge Bentham Science Publishers (2009)
      Increasing evidence has involved the cerebellum in functions beyond the sphere of motor control. In the present article, we review evidence that involves the cerebellum in addictive behaviour. We aimed on molecular and ...
