Amygdaloid projections to the ventral striatum in mice: direct and indirect chemosensory inputs to the brain reward system
Novejarque, Amparo; Gutiérrez-Castellanos, Nicolás; Lanuza, Enrique; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Frontiers (2011-08-22)Rodents constitute good models for studying the neural basis of sociosexual behavior. Recent findings in mice have revealed the molecular identity of the some pheromonal molecules triggering intersexual attraction. However, ... -
Amygdalostriatal projections in reptiles: A tract-tracing study in the lizard Podarcis hispanica
Novejarque, Amparo; Lanuza, Enrique; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Wiley (2004-11)Whereas the lacertilian anterior dorsal ventricular ridge contains unimodal sensory areas, its posterior part (PDVR) is an associative center that projects to the hypothalamus, thus being comparable to the amygdaloid ... -
Attraction to sexual pheromones and associated odorants in female mice involves activation of the reward system and basolateral amygdala
Moncho Bogani, José; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando; Novejarque, Amparo; Lanuza, Enrique Wiley (2005-04)Adult female mice are innately attracted to non-volatile pheromones contained in male-soiled bedding. In contrast, male-derived volatiles become attractive if associated with non-volatile attractive pheromones, which act ... -
Attractive properties of sexual pheromones in mice: Innate or learned?
Moncho Bogani, José; Lanuza, Enrique; Hernández Martínez, Adoración; Novejarque, Amparo; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Elsevier (2002-09)It is generally assumed that chemical signals (sexual pheromones) constitute the primary stimulus for sexual attraction in many mammals. However, it is unclear whether these pheromones are volatile or nonvolatile and which ... -
Differential efferent projections of the anterior, posteroventral, and posterodorsal subdivisions of the medial amygdala in mice
Pardo-Bellver, Cecília; Cádiz-Moretti, Bernardita; Novejarque, Amparo; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando; Lanuza, Enrique Frontiers (2012-08-21)The medial amygdaloid nucleus (Me) is a key structure in the control of sociosexual behavior in mice. It receives direct projections from the main and accessory olfactory bulbs (AOB), as well as an important hormonal input. ... -
Distribution of calcitonin gene-related peptide-like immunoreactivity in the brain of the lizard Podarcis hispanica
Martinez-Garcia, Fernando; Novejarque, Amparo; Landete, José M.; Moncho Bogani, José; Lanuza, Enrique Wiley (2002-05)The present work studies the distribution of calcitonin gene-related peptide-immunoreactive (CGRP-li) neurons and fibers in the brain of a reptile, the lizard Podarcis hispanica. CGRP-li perikarya were not present in the ... -
Distribution of CGRP-like immunoreactivity in the chick and quail brain
Lanuza, Enrique; Davies, D. Ceri; Landete, José M.; Novejarque, Amparo; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Wiley (2000-06)Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-containing neurones have been implicated in the transmission of visceral sensory information to the cortex and in the control of arterial blood pressure in mammals. However, little ... -
Projections from the posterolateral olfactory amygdala to the ventral striatum: neural basis for reinforcing properties of chemical stimuli
Úbeda-Bañón, Isabel; Novejarque, Amparo; Mohedano-Moriano, Alicia; Pro-Sistiaga, Palma; De la Rosa-Prieto, Carlos; Insausti, Ricardo; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando; Lanuza, Enrique; Martínez-Marcos, Alino BioMed Central (2007)Background: Vertebrates sense chemical stimuli through the olfactory receptor neurons whose axons project to the main olfactory bulb. The main projections of the olfactory bulb are directed to the olfactory cortex and ... -
Refining the dual olfactory hypothesis: Pheromone reward and odour experience
Martinez-Garcia, Fernando; Martínez-Ricós, Joana; Agustín-Pavón, Carmen; Martínez-Hernández, José; Novejarque, Amparo; Lanuza, Enrique Elsevier (2009-06)In rodents, sexual advertisement and gender recognition are mostly (if not exclusively) mediated by chemosignals. Specifically, there is ample evidence indicating that female mice are ‘innately’ attracted by male sexual ... -
Sexual pheromones and the evolution of the reward system of the brain: The chemosensory function of the amygdala
Lanuza, Enrique; Novejarque, Amparo; Martínez-Ricós, Joana; Martínez-Hernández, José; Agustín-Pavón, Carmen; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Elsevier (2008-03)The amygdala of all tetrapod vertebrates receives direct projections from the main and accessory olfactory bulbs, and the strong similarities in the organization of these projections suggest that they have undergone a very ... -
Striato-amygdaloid transition area lesions reduce the duration of tonic immobility in the lizard Podarcis hispanica
Davies, D. Ceri; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando; Lanuza, Enrique; Novejarque, Amparo Elsevier (2002)Neuroanatomical data suggest that the lizard striato-amygdaloid transition area is homologous with the mammalian central amygdala. In order to investigate possible functional similarities, tonic immobility was induced in ... -
Two interconnected functional systems in the amygdala of amniote vertebrates
Martinez-Garcia, Fernando; Novejarque, Amparo; Lanuza, Enrique Elsevier (2008-03)The amygdala shows ventropallial and lateropallial derivatives that can be compared among vertebrates according to their topological position, either superficial (cortical amygdala) or deep (basolateral amygdala and ... -
Understanding the basic circuitry of the cerebral hemispheres: the case of lizards and its implications in the evolution of the telencephalon
Lanuza, Enrique; Novejarque, Amparo; Moncho Bogani, José; Hernández Martínez, Adoración; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Elsevier (2002-02)The organization of the cerebral hemispheres of mammals is characterized by corticostriatal glutamatergic projections and striatopallidal GABAergic ones, plus the descending projections of the pallium and subpallium to ... -
Vomeronasal inputs to the rodent ventral striatum
Úbeda-Bañón, Isabel; Novejarque, Amparo; Mohedano-Moriano, Alicia; Pro-Sistiaga, Palma; Insausti, Ricardo; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando; Lanuza, Enrique; Martínez-Marcos, Alino Elsevier (2008-03)Vertebrates sense chemical signals through the olfactory and vomeronasal systems. In squamate reptiles, which possess the largest vomeronasal system of all vertebrates, the accessory olfactory bulb projects to the nucleus ...
