• closedAccess   Adenosine A2A receptor deletion affects social behaviors and anxiety in mice: Involvement of anterior cingulate cortex and amygdala 

      López Cruz, Laura; Carbó Gas, María; Pardo, Marta; Bayarri Iturralde, Pilar; Valverde, Olga; LEDENT, Catherine; Salamone, John; Correa, Merce Elsevier (2017)
      Blockade of adenosine A2A receptors can potentiate motivation to work for natural reinforcers such as food. Conspecific interaction is a potent natural reinforcer in social animals that can be manifested as preference for ...
    • openAccess   Cerebellar hallmarks of conditioned preference for cocaine 

      Carbó Gas, María; Vázquez Sanromán, Dolores; Gil-Miravet, Isis; De las Heras-Chanes, Joan; Coria Ávila, Genaro A.; Manzo, Jorge; Sanchis-Segura, Carla; MIQUEL, MARTA Elsevier (2014)
      Pavlovian conditioning tunes the motivational drive of drug-associated stimuli, fostering the probability of those environmental stimuli to promote and trigger drug seeking and taking. Interestingly, different areas in ...
    • closedAccess   Cerebellar perineuronal nets in cocaine-induced pavlovian memory: Site matters 

      Carbó Gas, María; Moreno Rius, Josep; Guarque-Chabrera, Julian; Vázquez Sanromán, Dolores; Gil-Miravet, Isis; Carulli, Daniela; Hoebeek, Freek; De Zeeuw, Chris; Sanchis-Segura, Carla; MIQUEL, MARTA Elsevier (2017-07-14)
      One of the key mechanisms for the stabilization of synaptic changes near the end of critical periods for experience-dependent plasticity is the formation of specific lattice extracellular matrix structures called perineuronal ...
    • openAccess   Cocaine-induced plasticity in the cerebellum of sensitised mice 

      Vázquez Sanromán, Dolores; Carbó Gas, María; Leto, Ketty; Cerezo García, Miguel; Gil-Miravet, Isis; Sanchis-Segura, Carla; Carulli, Daniela; Rossi, Ferdinando; MIQUEL, MARTA Springer Verlag (2015)
      Rationale Prior research has accumulated a substantial amount of evidence on the ability of cocaine to produce short- and long-lasting molecular and structural plasticity in the corticostriatal-limbic circuitry. However, ...
    • openAccess   Cocaine-Induced Preference Conditioning: a Machine Vision Perspective 

      Traver Roig, Vicente Javier; Pla, Filiberto; MIQUEL, MARTA; Carbó Gas, María; Gil-Miravet, Isis; Guarque-Chabrera, Julian Springer (2018)
      Existing work on drug-induced synaptic changes has shown that the expression of perineuronal nets (PNNs) at the cerebellar cortex can be regulated by cocaine-related memory. However, these studies on animals have mostly ...
    • openAccess   Have we been ignoring the elephant in the room? Seven arguments for considering the cerebellum as part of addiction circuitry 

      MIQUEL, MARTA; Vázquez Sanromán, Dolores; Carbó Gas, María; Gil-Miravet, Isis; Sanchis-Segura, Carla; Carulli, Daniela; Manzo, Jorge; Coria Ávila, Genaro A. Elsevier (2016)
      Addiction involves alterations in multiple brain regions that are associated with functions such as memory, motivation and executive control. Indeed, it is now well accepted that addictive drugs produce long-lasting molecular ...
    • openAccess   Involving the cerebellum in cocaine-induced memory: pattern of CFOS expression in mice trained to acquire conditioned preference for cocaine 

      Carbó Gas, María; Vázquez Sanromán, Dolores; Aguirre Manzo, Luisa; Coria Ávila, Genaro A.; Manzo, Jorge; Sanchis-Segura, Carla; MIQUEL, MARTA Wiley (2014-01)
      Because of its primary role in drug-seeking, consumption and addictive behaviour, there is a growing interest in identifying the neural circuits and molecular mechanisms underlying the formation, maintenance and retrieval ...
    • openAccess   The cerebellum on cocaine: plasticity and metaplasticity 

      Vázquez Sanromán, Dolores; Leto, Ketty; Cerezo García, Miguel; Carbó Gas, María; Sanchis-Segura, Carla; Carulli, Daniela; Rossi, Ferdinando; MIQUEL, MARTA Wiley (2015-09)
      Despite the fact that several data have supported the involvement of the cerebellum in the functional alterations observed after prolonged cocaine use, this brain structure has been traditionally ignored and excluded from ...
    • openAccess   The role of the cerebellum in drug-cue associative memory: functional interactions with the medial prefrontal cortex 

      Gil-Miravet, Isis; Guarque-Chabrera, Julian; Carbó Gas, María; Olucha-Bordonau, Francisco E; MIQUEL, MARTA John Wiley (2018-10-02)
      Drug-induced Pavlovian memories are thought to be crucial for drug addiction because they guide behaviour towards environments with drug availability. Drug-related memory depends on persistent changes in dopamine-glutamate ...
