• closedAccess   Brain activation by an olfactory stimulus paired with juvenile play in female rats 

      Paredes Ramos, Pedro; Bowers, J. M.; McCarthy, M. M.; MIQUEL, MARTA; Manzo, Jorge; Coria Ávila, Genaro A. Elsevier (2014)
      We have previously shown that reward experienced during social play at juvenile age can be paired with artificial odors, and later in adulthood facilitate olfactory conditioned partner preferences (PP) in female rats. ...
    • closedAccess   Juvenile play conditions sexual partner preference in adult female rats 

      Paredes Ramos, Pedro; MIQUEL, MARTA; Manzo, Jorge; Coria Ávila, Genaro A. Elsevier (2011)
      Rats can display a conditioned partner preference for individuals that bear an odor previously associated with sexual reward. Herein we tested the possibility that odors associated with the reward induced by social play in ...
    • closedAccess   Sexual reward induces Fos In the cerebellum of female rats 

      Paredes Ramos, Pedro; Pfaus, James G.; MIQUEL, MARTA; Manzo, Jorge; Coria Ávila, Genaro A. Elsevier (2011)
      The cerebellum is generally considered a neural structure specialized in motor control and recent imaging data suggest its role in sexual behavior. Herein, we analyzed the pattern of Fos immunoreactivity (Fos-IR) in the ...
    • closedAccess   Tickling in juvenile but not adult female rats conditions sexual partner preference 

      Paredes Ramos, Pedro; MIQUEL, MARTA; Manzo, Jorge; Pfaus, James G.; López Meraz, María Leonor; Coria Ávila, Genaro A. Elsevier (2012)
      Female rats display a conditioned partner preference for males that bear odors paired with different types of rewarding unconditioned stimuli (UCS). Here we examined whether tickling constitutes a rewarding UCS that supports ...
