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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Effects of acute maternal-filial separation on posterior maternal behavior in mice
Universitat Jaume I (2018-06-24)Maternal behavior ensures offspring’s survival, until the progeny arrives to sexual maturity. This behavior is regulated by the socio-sexual brain, an interconnected neural network that regulates social behaviors. Different ... -
Effects of brain insulin in conditioned place preference using exercise as a reward stimulus
Universitat Jaume I (2017-09-21)Researches suggest that physical activity is effective to prevent or treat stress-related psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse disorders. Both, natural and drugs rewards is processed by ... -
Meta-analysis of grey matter atrophy in cocaine user disorder
Universitat Jaume I (2017-09-21)Several studies have demonstrated anatomical alterations in cocaine use disorder subjects compared to healthy controls. Using voxel based morphometry, previous research have obtained results that show regional grey matter ... -
Emotion in the heart: a study of heart rate variability and negative affect
Universitat Jaume I (2017-09-21)Heart Rate Variability (HRV) refers to the v ariation frequency of the heart beat s during a previously defined time interval (never exceeding 24 hours) in an analysis of consecutive circadian ... -
Individual differences in running wheel performance and preference for active versus passive reinforcers: role of DARPP32
Universitat Jaume I (2017-09-21)Background: Motivation is characterized by high levels of behavioral activation, vigor, persistence and goal directed behavior. These functions are impair ed in pathologies such as depression or Parkinson disease. ... -
Amygdala and thalamus changes after a double deactivation on the infralimbic-cerebellum pathway
Universitat Jaume I (2017-09-21)The c erebellum plays an important role in addiction. It has been suggested that there is a functional netw ork between the cerebellum and i nfralimbic cortex that could play a ... -
Can a future event change the pass? An fMRI study
Universitat Jaume I (2017-09-21)A large number of studies reveal that emotionally significant events are retained better than neutral events. A topic of interest is the retroactive effect of new emotional experiences on previous related ... -
Insulin signaling in hippocampus
Universitat Jaume I (2017-09-21)Neuroinflammation and insulin resistance are known to underlie many neurological alterations, including Alzheimer's disease. Neuroinflammation is associated with chronic microglia activation, which induces ... -
To Dub or Not to Dub –That is the question!An fMRI study on the processing of funny clips in L2
Universitat Jaume I (2017-07-24)Recent behavioural research provides evidence that people using a foreign language (L2) make substantially more utilitarian decisions when presented with moral dilemmas. It is argued that this is due to a reduced emotional ...
