Otero García, Marcos; Martín Sánchez, Ana; Fortes Marco, Lluís; Martínez-Ricós, Joana; Agustín-Pavón, Carmen; Lanuza, Enrique; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Springer Berlin Heidelberg (2014-05)Quantitative analysis of the immunoreactivity for arginine-vasopressin (AVP-ir) in the telencephalon of male (intact and castrated) and female CD1 mice allows us to precisely locate two sexually dimorphic (more abundant ... -
Focal Lesions within the ventral striato-pallidum abolish attraction for male chemosignals in female mice
Agustín-Pavón, Carmen; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando; Lanuza, Enrique Elsevier (2014-02)In rodents, socio-sexual behaviour is largely mediated by chemosensory cues, some of which are rewarding stimuli. Female mice display an innate attraction towards male chemosignals, dependent on the vomeronasal system. ... -

Lanuza, Enrique; Belekhova, Margarita; Martínez-Marcos, Alino; Font, Cristian; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Wiley (1998-11)The presence of multimodal association in the telencephalon of reptiles has been investigated by tracing the afferent connections to the posterior dorsal ventricular ridge (PDVR) of the lizard Podarcis hispanica. The PDVR ... -
Intraspecific Communication Through Chemical Signals in Female Mice: Reinforcing Properties of Involatile Male Sexual Pheromones
Martínez-Ricós, Joana; Agustín-Pavón, Carmen; Lanuza, Enrique; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Oxford University Press (2007)In rodents, social and reproductive behaviors critically depend on chemical signals, including sexual pheromones that have been suggested (but not demonstrated) to be rewarding. In this work, we analyze this issue by ... -
Lack of MeCP2 leads to region-specific increase of doublecortin in the olfactory system
Martínez-Rodríguez, Elena; Martín Sánchez, Ana; Coviello, Simona; Foiani, Cristina; Kul, Emre; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando; Nacher, Juan; Lanuza, Enrique; Santos, Mónica; Agustín-Pavón, Carmen Springer (2019-05)The protein doublecortin is mainly expressed in migrating neuroblasts and immature neurons. The X-linked gene MECP2, associated to several neurodevelopmental disorders such as Rett syndrome, encodes the protein methyl-CpG-binding ... -
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 ... -
Male-specific features are reduced in Mecp2-null mice: analyses of vasopressinergic innervation, pheromone production and social behaviour
Martínez-Rodríguez, Elena; Martín Sánchez, Ana; Kul, Emre; Bose, Aparajita; Martínez-Martínez, Francisco José; Stork, Oliver; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando; Lanuza, Enrique; Santos, Mónica; Agustín-Pavón, Carmen Springer (2020-08-04)Deficits in arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OT), two neuropeptides closely implicated in the modulation of social behaviours, have been reported in some early developmental disorders and autism spectrum disorders. ... -
Maternal Motivation: Exploring the Roles of Prolactin and Pup Stimuli
Salais López, Hugo; Abellán-Álvaro, María; Bellés, María; Lanuza, Enrique; Agustín-Pavón, Carmen; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Karger Publishers (2020-07-09)Motherhood entails increased motivation for pups, which become strong reinforcers and guide maternal behaviours. This depends on steroids and lactogens acting on the brain of females during pregnancy and postpartum. Since ... -
Motherhood-induced gene expression in the mouse medial amygdala: Changes induced by pregnancy and lactation but not by pup stimuli
Abellán-Álvaro, María; Ayala, Guillermo; Barneo-Muñoz, Manuela; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando; Agustín-Pavón, Carmen; Lanuza, Enrique Federation of American Society of Experimental Biology (2021)During lactation, adult female mice display aggressive responses toward male intrud-ers, triggered by male- derived chemosensory signals. This aggressive behavior is not shown by pup- sensitized virgin females sharing ... -
Noves dades sobre el mecanisme neural de la consolidació de la memòria: una oportunitat per a atenuar l’impacte emocional de les experiències traumàtiques
Lanuza, Enrique Agrupació Borrianenca de Cultura (2016)Durant la major part del segle xx, els estudis científics sobre la memòria assumien que les memòries eren immutables una vegada es consolidaven, tot i que podien perdre qualitat amb el pas del temps. Dades recents han ... -
Of Pheromones and Kairomones: What Receptors Mediate Innate Emotional Responses?
Fortes Marco, Lluís; Lanuza, Enrique; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Wiley (2013-09)Some chemicals elicit innate emotionally laden behavioral responses.
