The medial amygdaloid nucleus (Me) is a key structure in the control of sociosexual behavior mice. It receives direct projections from main and accessory olfactory bulbs (AOB), as well an important hormonal input. To better understand its behavioral role, this work we investigate structures receiving information Me, by analysing efferent anterior (MeA), posterodorsal (MePD) posteroventral (MePV) subdivisions, using anterograde neuronal tracing with biotinylated tetrametylrhodamine-conjugated...
Abstract Most mammals possess a vomeronasal system that detects predominantly chemical signals of biological relevance. Vomeronasal information is relayed to the accessory olfactory bulb ( AOB ), whose unique cortical target posteromedial nucleus amygdala. This structure should therefore be considered primary cortex. In present work, we describe afferent and efferent connections amygdala in female mice, using anterograde (biotinylated dextranamines) retrograde (Fluorogold) tracers, zinc...
The transitional zone between the ventral part of piriform cortex and anterior cortical nucleus amygdala, named cortex-amygdala transition (CxA), shows two differential features that allow its identification as a particular structure. First, it receives dense cholinergic dopaminergic innervations compared to adjacent second, projections from main accessory olfactory bulbs. In this work we have studied pattern afferent efferent CxA, which are mainly unknown, by using retrograde tracer...
Chemosensory processing in mammals involves the olfactory and vomeronasal systems, but how activity of both circuits is integrated unknown. In our study, we recorded electrophysiological bulbs amygdala freely behaving mice exploring a battery neutral conspecific stimuli. The exploration stimuli, including stimulus, induced synchronic characterized by dominant theta rhythmicity, with specific theta-gamma coupling, distinguishing between structures. correlated activation suggests coupling...
The anterior cortical amygdaloid nucleus (ACo) is a chemosensory area of the amygdala that receives afferent projections from both main and accessory olfactory bulbs. role this structure unknown, partially due to lack knowledge its connectivity. In work, we describe pattern efferent ACo by using fluorogold biotinylated dextranamines as retrograde anterograde tracers, respectively. results show reciprocally connected with system basal forebrain, well basomedial amygdala. addition, it dense...
Rodents detect chemical information mainly through the olfactory and vomeronasal systems, which play complementary roles to orchestrate appropriate behavioral responses. To characterize integration of chemosensory information, we have performed electrophysiological c-Fos studies bulbo-amygdalar network in freely behaving female mice exploring neutral or conspecific stimuli. We hypothesize that processing conspecifics stimuli requires both thus our results will show shared patterns activity...
Durante los últimos años, ha habido un cambio social significativo en el uso de aplicaciones digitales, lo cual se visto reflejado ámbito sanitario y académico, dados nuevos desafíos clínicos socioeconómicos. En este nuevo ambiente hiperconectividad, inmediatez, abundancia recursos, puede resultar relativamente complicado para estudiantes primeros años carrera, sobre todo ciencias la salud, tanto encontrar motivación como información veraz, confiable calidad. La anatomía humana es pilar...
