; Castro-Zavala, Adriana[et al.] (2024-01-15)
Sex disparities in declarative and spatial memory exist in humans, favoring either gender depending on the task. This trend is observed in rats but less so in mice. In our study with C57BL/6JRj mice, we conducted various ... -

Esteban-Martos, Alvaro; Brokate-Llanos, Ana María; Real-Navarrete, Luis Miguel; Melgar-Locatelli, Sonia; De Rojas, Itziar; Castro-Zavala, Adriana; Bravo-Romero, María José; Mañas-Padilla, María del Carmen; García-González, Pablo; Ruiz-Galdón, Maximiliano; Pacheco-Sánchez, Beatriz; Polvillo, Rocío; Rodriguez-de-Fonseca, Fernando; González, Irene; Castilla-Ortega, María Estela; Muñoz-Gómez, Manuel; Rivera, Patricia; Reyes-Engel, Armando; Ruiz, Agustín; Royo-Sánchez-Palencia, José Luis[et al.] (MDPI, 2023)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) constitute a powerful tool to identify the different biochemical pathways associated with disease. This knowledge can be used to prioritize drugs targeting these routes, paving the ... -
Dataset for: A persistent increase in gut permeability correlates with emotional dysregulation following maternal separation in male and female mice.
Castro-Zavala, Adriana; Nieto-Nieves, Ana; Melgar-Locatelli, Sonia; Medina-Rodríguez, Lidia; Mañas-Padilla, María del Carmen; Castilla-Ortega, María Estela[et al.] (Universidad de Málaga, 2025-04-03)
Early life stress (ELS) can significantly influence vulnerability to the development of psychiatric disorders in adulthood. One of the most widely used preclinical models for investigating ELS is maternal separation with ... -
Diet enriched with high-phenolic cocoa potentiates hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression and neurogenesis in healthy adult micewith subtle effects on memory
Melgar-Locatelli, Sonia; Mañas-Padilla, María del Carmen; Castro-Zavala, Adriana; Rivera, Patricia; Razola-Díaz, María del Carmen; Monje, Francisco J; Rodríguez-Pérez, Celia; Castilla-Ortega, María Estela; Razola-Díaz[et al.] (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2024-08-12)
Cocoa is widely known for its health benefits, but its neurocognitive impact remains underexplored. This preclinical study aimed to investigate the effects of cocoa and cocoa polyphenols on hippocampal neuroplasticity, ... -
Effects of cocoa-derived polyphenols treatment in regulating the adverse impacts of early-life stress in male and female mice.
Castro-Zavala, Adriana; Melgar-Locatelli, Sonia; Mañas-Padilla, María del Carmen; Rodríguez-Pérez, Celia; Castilla-Ortega, María Estela (2023)
Depression is one of the mental disorders that significantly affects today's society and calls for new treatments. In recent years, the gut microbiota has emerged as a key modulator of behaviour and mood due to the existence ... -
Estudio del cacao como potenciador de la neurogénesis y la función hipocampal en ratones adultos
Introducción: La formación de nuevas neuronas es un fenómeno neuroplástico esencial que se produce en el cerebro adulto, concretamente en el giro dentado del hipocampo (neurogénesis hipocampal adulta, NHA). Numerosos ... -
Exploring the nutritional composition and bioactive compounds in different cocoa powders
Razola-Díaz, María del Carmen; Aznar-Ramos, María José; Verardo, Vito; Melgar-Locatelli, Sonia; Castilla-Ortega, María Estela; Rodríguez-Pérez, Celia[et al.] (MDPI, 2023-03-14)
Cocoa, the main derivative of the seeds of Theobroma cacao L., has been recognized to have several effects on human health including antioxidant and neuro- and cardio-protective effects, among others. These effects have ... -
How Healthy Is It to Fortify Cocoa-Based Products with Cocoa Flavanols? A Comprehensive Review.
Palma-Morales, Marta; Melgar-Locatelli, Sonia; Castilla-Ortega, María Estela; Rodríguez-Pérez, Celia (MDPI, 2023-07-03)
Background: Cocoa’s healthy benefits may be attributed to the potent antioxidant activity of cocoa polyphenols, mainly flavanols, which have been characterised as existing in a high concentration in cocoa. However, the ... -
Impact of a cocoa-based diet rich in polyphenols on cognitive function, emotional behavior, and adult hippocampal neurogenesis in mice.
Melgar-Locatelli, Sonia; Mañas-Padilla, María del Carmen; Castro-Zavala, Adriana; Razola-Díaz, María del Carmen; Palma-Morales, Marta; Rivera-González, Patricia; Rodríguez-Pérez, Celia; Castilla-Ortega, María Estela[et al.] (2023)
Cocoa consumption has long been associated with numerous health benefits due to its rich composition of minerals, fiber, methylxanthines, and polyphenols, particularly flavanols. However, the cognitive effects of cocoa ... -
Nutrition and adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus: Does what you eat help you remember?
(2023-02-23)Neurogenesis is a complex process by which neural progenitor cells (NPCs)/neural stem cells (NSCs) proliferate and differentiate into new neurons and other brain cells. In adulthood, the hippocampus is one of the areas ... -
Reduction of adult neurogenesis by temozolomide inhibits intrinsic preference for exploring complex objects in mice
Melgar-Locatelli, Sonia; Mañas-Padilla, María del Carmen; Gil-Rodríguez, Sara; Vicente, Lucía; Gálvez-Callejón, Ana Mar; Rodríguez-Pérez, Celia; Castilla-Ortega, María Estela[et al.] (2022)
Intrinsic exploratory bias is an innate tendency to prefer certain types of stimuli or environments over others. For example, mice would genuinely spent more time exploring perceptually complex objects (i.e. with edges and ... -
