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 ...
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 ...
Understanding the basic circuitry of the cerebral hemispheres: the case of lizards and its implications in the evolution of the telencephalon
(Elsevier, 2002-02)
The organization of the cerebral hemispheres of mammals is characterized by corticostriatal glutamatergic projections and striatopallidal GABAergic ones, plus the descending projections of the pallium and subpallium to ...
Pacientes bipolares de unidades especializadas y de centros de salud mental. ¿Se pueden comparar?
(Elsevier, 2009)
Introduction
Bipolar patients recruited for studies are usually picked from Bipolar Disorder Units, which only contain a fraction of the total population of patients with bipolar disorder. The purpose of this study was ...
Trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad y trastorno bipolar en gemelas dicigóticas. A propósito de un caso
(Elsevier España, 2008-03)
Desde que Wozniak et al describieran una elevada incidencia de trastorno bipolar (16%) entre los niños y adolescentes diagnosticados de trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) ha existido un interés ...
Distribution of corticotropin-releasing factor-immunoreactive neurons in the central nervous system of the domestic chicken and Japanese quail
(Wiley, 2004-02)
In birds, as in mammals, corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is present in a number of extrahypothalamic brain regions, indicating that CRF may play a role in physiological and behavioral responses other than the control ...
Striato-amygdaloid transition area lesions reduce the duration of tonic immobility in the lizard Podarcis hispanica
(Elsevier, 2002)
Neuroanatomical data suggest that the lizard striato-amygdaloid transition area is homologous with the mammalian central amygdala. In order to investigate possible functional similarities, tonic immobility was induced in ...
Hippocampal dopamine receptors modulate cFos expression in the rat nucleus accumbens evoked by chemical stimulation of the ventral hippocampus
(Elsevier, 2005-12)
Recently, we have shown that D1 and D2 receptors in the ventral hippocampus (VH) modulate both the locomotor activation and the increase in dopamine (DA) levels in the rat nucleus accumbens (NAc) induced by NMDA stimulation ...
Role of nitric oxide in pheromone-mediated intraspecific communication in mice
(Elsevier, 2009-12)
Nitric oxide is known to take part in the control of sexual and agonistic behaviours. This is usually attributed to its role in neural transmission in the hypothalamus and other structures of the limbic system. However, ...
