Abstract: Following a Pavlovian pairing procedure, alcohol-paired cues come to elicit behavioral responses that lead to alcohol consumption. Here we used an optogenetic approach to activate basolateral amygdala (BLA) axonal terminals targeting the shell of nucleus… read more here.

Abstract: &NA; Contribution to Special Issue on Fast effects of steroids. Estrogens exert pleiotropic effects on multiple physiological and behavioral traits including sexual behavior. These effects are classically mediated via binding to nuclear receptors and subsequent… read more here.

DOI: 10.17221/7532-cjas
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible action of the “female effect” by evaluating if exposure to estrogenized females would affect sexual behaviour and testosterone concentrations while affecting the length of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnbeh.2018.00178
Abstract: The periaqueductal gray (PAG) has a well-established role in pain processing, autonomic function and behavioral responses to fear. Anatomical work suggests the PAG may mediate food intake and reward processing as it has extensive reciprocal… read more here.
