Lesions of the dopaminergic innervation of the nucleus accumbens medial shell delay the generation of preference for sucrose, but not of sexual pheromones
Martínez-Hernández, José; Lanuza, Enrique; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Elsevier (2012-01)Male sexual pheromones are rewarding stimuli for female mice, able to induce conditioned place preference. To test whether processing these natural reinforcing stimuli depends on the dopaminergic innervation of the nucleus ... -
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 ... -
Selective dopaminergic lesions of the ventral tegmental area impair preference for sucrose but not for male sexual pheromones in female mice
Martínez-Hernández, José; Lanuza, Enrique; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Wiley (2006-08)The role of the meso-accumbens dopaminergic pathway in reward-related behaviours is the subject of intense investigation. In this regard, here we analyse the effects of specific lesions of dopaminergic cells of the ventral ... -
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 ...
