Proposal of 5-methoxy-N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine consumption biomarkers through identification of in vivo metabolites from mice
(Elsevier, 2017-07)
New psychoactive substances (NPS) are a new breed of synthetically produced substances designed to mimic the effects of traditional illegal drugs. Synthetic cannabinoids and synthetic cathinones are the two most common ...
Becoming a mother shifts the activity of the social and motivation brain networks in mice
(Elsevier, 2022-06-03)
During pregnancy hormones increase motivated pup-directed behaviors. We here analyze hormone-induced changes in brain activity, by comparing cFos-immunoreactivity in the sociosexual (SBN) and motivation brain networks ...
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. ...
Afferent and Efferent Connections of the Cortex-Amygdala Transition Zone in Mice
(Frontiers Media, 2016)
The transitional zone between the ventral part of the piriform cortex and the anterior cortical nucleus of the amygdala, named the cortex-amygdala transition zone (CxA), shows two differential features that allow its ...
Amygdalo-hypothalamic projections in the lizard Podarcis hispanica: A combined anterograde and retrograde tracing study
(Wiley, 1997-08)
The cells of origin and terminal fields of the amygdalo-hypothalamic projections in the lizard Podarcis hispanica were determined by using the anterograde and retrograde transport of the tracers, biotinylated dextran amine ...
Motherhood-induced gene expression in the mouse medial amygdala: Changes induced by pregnancy and lactation but not by pup stimuli
(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 ...
Cladistic Analysis of Olfactory and Vomeronasal Systems
(Frontiers, 2011-01-26)
Most tetrapods possess two nasal organs for detecting chemicals in their environment, which are the sensory detectors of the olfactory and vomeronasal systems. The seventies’ view that the olfactory system was only devoted ...
Focal Lesions within the ventral striato-pallidum abolish attraction for male chemosignals in female mice
(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. ...
Projections from the posterolateral olfactory amygdala to the ventral striatum: neural basis for reinforcing properties of chemical stimuli
(BioMed Central, 2007)
Background: Vertebrates sense chemical stimuli through the olfactory receptor neurons whose axons project to the main olfactory bulb. The main projections of the olfactory bulb are directed to the olfactory cortex and ...
Afferents to the red nucleus in the lizard Podarcis hispanica: Putative pathways for visuomotor integration
(Wiley, 1999-08)
The afferents to the red nucleus from visual and nonvisual forebrain centers have been investigated in the lizard Podarcis hispanica by using both retrograde and anterograde transport of tracers. Because the red nucleus ...
