Cocaine addiction affects cerebellar structure
Universitat Jaume I (2018-07-24)Long term cocaine use produces structural and functional effects in different brain locations. Recent studies point the cerebellum as one of the structures that show alterations in addicted subjects. There are studies ... -
Pup-derived stimulation induces increased response to PRL in the female mouse brain: implications for motivated maternal behaviour
Universitat Jaume I (2018-07-24)Maternal behaviours are expressed by the mother to guarantee the survival of her offspring. The expression of these behaviours requires a high motivation towards pups, known as maternal motivation. In the mouse, it is ... -
Bilingualism as a protective factor against dementia: a morphometry study using a homogeneous sample
Universitat Jaume I (2018-07-24)Evidence from previous studies suggests that bilingualism contributes to cognitive reserve, since bilinguals manifest the first symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) up to five years later than monolinguals. Other studies ... -
Modulation of hemispheric language dominance of left-handers according to musical experience: an fMRI study
Universitat Jaume I (2018-07-24)INTRODUCTION: Language processing is a function presenting a strong hemispheric leftdominance in the vast majority of population (94-96% of right-handers). Nonetheless, some conditions such as left-handedness have been ... -
Role of medial prefrontal cortex in drug-cue associative memory and its functional interactions with the striatum
Universitat Jaume I (2018-07-24)Addicts are hypersensitive to the motivational properties of stimuli associated previously with drug taking, such as persons, places, or paraphernalia. The learned preference towards these stimuli has been studied in ... -
Neurons trapped in deep cerebellar nets: what deactivating the surface can do to the depths
Universitat Jaume I (2018-09-10)Despite recent evidences linking the cerebellum to relevant brain functions affected in addicts it is still being ignored in addiction research. Several studies unveiled its involvement in the development of pavlovian ... -
Dopamine antagonists reduce selection of reinforcers that require vikgor: correlation with DARPP32
Universitat Jaume I (2018-09-11)Introduction: Dopamine (DA) is a neurotransmitter that is involved in vigor, persistence and work output in normal motivation. In fact, nucleus accumbens (Nacb) DA is a critical component of the neural circuitry that ... -
Activation of the dorsal cerebellum and ventral tegmental area in the expression of cocaine-conditioned place preference in mice.
Universitat Jaume I (2019-07-25)Addictive drugs are potent neurophysiological agents capable of inducing long-lasting changes in brain circuits responsible for learning and memory. The high risk of relapse, characteristic of addiction, is triggered by ... -
Abscisic acid Prevents Memory Loss and Neuroinflammation and Increases IRS-2 Expression in Alzheimer’s disease Mice Model
Universitat Jaume I (2019-07-25)Neuroinflammation and insulin resistance in the brain are intimately linked to neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease. Even though traditionally Alzheimer´s disease has been ... -
Oxytocin and maternal motivation; Changes in oxytocin-immunoreactive innervation of the ventral striatum and amygdala during motherhood.
Universitat Jaume I (2019-07-25)The neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) has not just an endocrine role in the control of parturition and milk ejection, but also influences social interactions (including maternal behavior) by means of its action as a neurotransmitter ... -
Individual differences in running wheel performance are related to preferences for active reinforcers: the role of Nucleus Accumbens CDNF.
Universitat Jaume I (2019-07-25)Exercise has been demonstrated to have a positive impact on psychological well-being and mental health. Nucleus Accumbens (Nacb) dopamine (DA) has been implicated in regulating the energizing component of motivated ... -
'Which are the brain language control mechanisms when we learn new vocabulary?'
Universitat Jaume I (2019-07-25)The Prefrontal Cortex (PFC), Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC), Inferior Parietal Lobule (IPL), basal ganglia and caudate, have been proposed as language control mechanisms by Abutalebi and Green (2007). In the present ... -
Procesos neuronales implicados en el procesamiento de errores en la psicopatía subclínica en contextos afectivos: Una tarea de discriminación emocional.
Universitat Jaume I (2019-09-10)El modelo triárquico de la psicopatía (Patrick et al., 2009) ha sido formulado con el objetivo de integrar las diferentes concepciones que ha recibido el trastorno de la psicopatía a lo largo de los años en tres tendencias ... -
Personality pathways to alcohol use and related-problems in adolescence.
Universitat Jaume I (2019-09-10)Introduction Alcohol is the most widely used drug on a global scale and has been introduced into our culture for thousands of years. It is accessible in all strata of the population and in all ages being the direct and ... -
Sistemas neurales de monitoreo de conducta en relación a la impulsividad: ERN como marcador electrofisiológico.
Universitat Jaume I (2019-09-10)Gray centra su teoría de Sensibilidad al Refuerzo (RST) en tres sistemas neurofisiológicos, de los cuales los dos centrales son el Sistema de Inhibición Conductual (BIS) el cual media las respuestas hacia las señales de ... -
Psychopathy and personality contributions to bullying and cyberbullying behaviors.
Universitat Jaume I (2019-09-10)Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by issues in the interpersonal, affective and behavioral areas. The controversial about his etiologi and growing fascination by population makes of psychopathy a relevant ... -
High-fat diet and abscisic acid: their effect on perineuronal nets.
Universitat Jaume I (2019-09-10)High fat diet induces obesity, neuroinflammation and cognitive deficits. Abscisic acid, however, prevents the development of these processes (Sánchez-Sarasúa et al., 2016). Perineuronal nets are extracellular matrix ... -
Emotion induction through music: peripheral correlates of hedonic valence and arousal during a passive listening task
Universitat Jaume I (2020-07-21)Music is a very interesting experimental stimulus due to its universal capacity to induce emotions. Empirical studies have mainly focused on self-reports and central measures effects, with only a few works exploring ... -
