Pup-derived stimulation induces increased response to PRL in the female mouse brain: implications for motivated maternal behaviour
(Universitat Jaume I, 2018-07-24)
Maternal behaviours are expressed by the mother to guarantee the survival of her offspring.
The expression of these behaviours requires a high motivation towards pups, known as
maternal motivation. In the mouse, it is ...
Dopamine antagonists reduce selection of reinforcers that require vikgor: correlation with DARPP32
(Universitat Jaume I, 2018-09-11)
Introduction: Dopamine (DA) is a neurotransmitter that is involved in vigor, persistence and work
output in normal motivation. In fact, nucleus accumbens (Nacb) DA is a critical component of
the neural circuitry that ...
Neurons trapped in deep cerebellar nets: what deactivating the surface can do to the depths
(Universitat Jaume I, 2018-09-10)
Despite recent evidences linking the cerebellum to relevant brain functions affected in addicts
it is still being ignored in addiction research. Several studies unveiled its involvement in the
development of pavlovian ...
Bilingualism as a protective factor against dementia: a morphometry study using a homogeneous sample
(Universitat Jaume I, 2018-07-24)
Evidence from previous studies suggests that bilingualism contributes to
cognitive reserve, since bilinguals manifest the first symptoms of Alzheimer’s
disease (AD) up to five years later than monolinguals. Other studies ...
Effects of acute maternal-filial separation on posterior maternal behavior in mice
(Universitat Jaume I, 2018-06-24)
Maternal behavior ensures offspring’s survival, until the progeny arrives to sexual
maturity. This behavior is regulated by the socio-sexual brain, an interconnected
neural network that regulates social behaviors. Different ...
Modulation of hemispheric language dominance of left-handers according to musical experience: an fMRI study
(Universitat Jaume I, 2018-07-24)
INTRODUCTION: Language processing is a function presenting a strong hemispheric leftdominance in the vast majority of population (94-96% of right-handers). Nonetheless, some
conditions such as left-handedness have been ...
Role of medial prefrontal cortex in drug-cue associative memory and its functional interactions with the striatum
(Universitat Jaume I, 2018-07-24)
Addicts are hypersensitive to the motivational properties of stimuli associated previously with
drug taking, such as persons, places, or paraphernalia. The learned preference towards these
stimuli has been studied in ...
Cocaine addiction affects cerebellar structure
(Universitat Jaume I, 2018-07-24)
Long term cocaine use produces structural and functional effects in different brain locations. Recent
studies point the cerebellum as one of the structures that show alterations in addicted subjects. There
are studies ...
To Dub or Not to Dub –That is the question!An fMRI study on the processing of funny clips in L2
(Universitat Jaume I, 2017-07-24)
Recent behavioural research provides evidence that people using a foreign language (L2) make substantially more utilitarian decisions when presented with moral dilemmas. It is argued that this is due to a reduced emotional ...
Factor Neurotrófico Cerebral Dopaminérgico (CDNF): efectos sobre las neuronas dopaminérgicas
(Universitat Jaume I, 2016-07-21)
Los Factores Neurotróficos (NTFs) son pequeñas proteínas que promueven el desarrollo y supervivencia de diferentes tipos celulares. Existen tres familias de NTFs: Neurotrofinas, Neurokinas y Ligandos del Factor Neurotrófico ...
