Afferent and efferent projections of the anterior cortical amygdaloid nucleus in the mouse
Wiley (2017-06)The anterior cortical amygdaloid nucleus (ACo) is a chemosensory area of the cortical amygdala that receives afferent projections from both the main and accessory olfactory bulbs. The role of this structure is unknown, ... -
Afferent projections to the different medial amygdala subdivisions: a retrograde tracing study in the mouse
Springer Berlin Heidelberg (2014-12)The medial amygdaloid nucleus (Me) is a key node in the socio-sexual brain, composed of anterior (MeA), posteroventral (MePV) and posterodorsal (MePD) subdivisions. These subdivisions have been suggested to play a different ... -
Attraction to sexual pheromones and associated odorants in female mice involves activation of the reward system and basolateral amygdala
Wiley (2005-04)Adult female mice are innately attracted to non-volatile pheromones contained in male-soiled bedding. In contrast, male-derived volatiles become attractive if associated with non-volatile attractive pheromones, which act ... -
Attractive properties of sexual pheromones in mice: Innate or learned?
Elsevier (2002-09)It is generally assumed that chemical signals (sexual pheromones) constitute the primary stimulus for sexual attraction in many mammals. However, it is unclear whether these pheromones are volatile or nonvolatile and which ... -
Inhibition of the medial amygdala disrupts escalated aggression in lactating female mice after repeated exposure to male intruders
Nature Research (2022-09-16)Virgin female laboratory mice readily express pup care when co-housed with dams and pups. However, pup-sensitized virgins fail to express intruder-directed aggression on a single session of testing. To study whether repeated ... -
Intraspecific Communication Through Chemical Signals in Female Mice: Reinforcing Properties of Involatile Male Sexual Pheromones
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 ... -
Olor a Nenuco. Estímulos químicos de cría y su impacto en la madre
Publicacions de la Universitat Jaume I. Servei de Comunicació i Publicacions (2019)Una correcta conducta maternal es fundamental para la supervivencia de la descendencia y la maduración de su sistema nervioso. Esta investigación analiza el sustrato neuroendocrino de la conducta maternal en ratones, ... -
Pregnancy Changes the Response of the Vomeronasal and Olfactory Systems to Pups in Mice
Frontiers Media (2020-12-18)Motherhood entails changes in behavior with increased motivation for pups, induced in part by pregnancy hormones acting upon the brain. This work explores whether this alters sensory processing of pup-derived chemosignals. ... -
Role of the vomeronasal system in intersexual attraction in female mice
Elsevier (2008-05)Although it is generally accepted that rodents' sociosexual behavior relies mainly on chemosignals, the specific roles played by the vomeronasal and olfactory systems in detecting these signals are presently unclear. This ...
