Nat Commun . 2019 Sep; 10(1):4138. PMID: 31515512
The laterodorsal tegmentum (LDT) is associated with reward considering that it modulates VTA neuronal activity, but recent anatomical evidence shows that the LDT also directly projects to nucleus accumbens (NAc)....

Genes Brain Behav . 2018 Nov; 18(6):e12542. PMID: 30488664
Chronic pain is frequently accompanied by the manifestation of emotional disturbances and cognitive deficits. While a causality relation between pain and emotional/cognitive disturbances is generally assumed, several observations suggest a...

Front Behav Neurosci . 2018 Jul; 12:129. PMID: 30034328
Stress or high levels of glucocorticoids (GCs) during developmental periods is known to induce persistent effects in the neuroendocrine circuits that control stress response, which may underlie individuals' increased risk...

Front Behav Neurosci . 2017 Nov; 11:192. PMID: 29089877
In rodents, dexterity is commonly analyzed in preference paradigms in which animals are given the chance to use either the left or the right front paws to manipulate food. However,...

Elife . 2017 Aug; 6. PMID: 28837419
Ventral tegmental area (VTA) activity is critical for reward/reinforcement and is tightly modulated by the laterodorsal tegmentum (LDT). exposure to glucocorticoids (iuGC) triggers prominent motivation deficits but nothing is known...

Nat Commun . 2016 Jun; 7:11829. PMID: 27337658
Striatal dopamine receptor D1-expressing neurons have been classically associated with positive reinforcement and reward, whereas D2 neurons are associated with negative reinforcement and aversion. Here we demonstrate that the pattern...

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) . 2014 Jan; 4:190. PMID: 24379803
Stress perception, response, adaptation, and coping strategies are individually distinct, and the sequel of stress and/or glucocorticoids (GCs) is also distinct between subjects. In the last years, it has become...
