Life Satisfaction and Character Strenghs in Ecuatorian Adolescents
(Springer, 2021-11-27)There is empirical evidence that life satisfaction (LS) in adolescence is associated with adequate development and future well-being. Research into the factors underpinning LS can therefore help to promote healthier ... -
New Evidence for the Psychometric Properties of the Spanish Version of the Gain in Alzheimer Care Instrument
(Cambridge, 2021-05-07)The aim was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Gain in Alzheimer Care Instrument (GAIN), providing validity evidence based on its internal structure, reliability, item analysis, and ... -
LPA1 receptor and chronic stress: Effects on behaviour and the genes involved in the hippocampal excitatory/inhibitory balance.
(Neuropharmacology, 2020-03-01)The LPA1 receptor, one of the six characterized G protein-coupled receptors (LPA1-6) through which lysophosphatidic acid acts, is likely involved in promoting normal emotional behaviours. Current data suggest that the ... -
Do changes in microglial status underlie neurogenesis impairments and depressive-like behaviours induced by psychological stress? A systematic review in animal models
(ELSEVIER, 2021-11)Stress may have a negative effect on mental health and is the primary environmental risk factor in the aetiology of depression. Nevertheless, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying this mood disorder remain ... -
Chronic central modulation of LPA/LPA receptors-signaling pathway in the mouse brain regulates cognition, emotion, and hippocampal neurogenesis.
(Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, 2021-06-06)Several studies have demonstrated that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) acts through its LPA receptors in multiple biological and behavioral processes, including adult hippocampal neurogenesis, hippocampal-dependent memory, and ... -
Training memory without aversion: Appetitive hole-board spatial learning increases adult hippocampal neurogenesis
(Elsevier, 2018)(AHN). However, the vast majority of findings on the learning-induced regulation of AHN derive from aversively-motivated tasks, mainly the water maze paradigm, in which stress is a confounding factor that affects the AHN ... -
Where to place the rewards? Exploration bias in mice influences performance in the classic hole-board spatial memory test
(Springer, 2019)The classic hole-board paradigm (a square arena with 16 holes arranged equidistantly in a 4x4 pattern) assesses both exploration and spatial memory in rodents. For spatial memory training, food rewards are hidden in a fixed ... -
Lysophosphatidic acid-induced increase in adult hippocampal neurogenesis facilitates the forgetting of cocaine-contextual memory
(Wiley, 2019)Erasing memories of cocaine-stimuli associations might have important clinical implications for addiction therapy. Stimulating hippocampal plasticity by enhancing adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) is a promising strategy ... -
Neuroplastic and cognitive impairment in substance use disorders: a therapeutic potential of cognitive stimulation
(Elsevier, 2019)Drug addiction is a chronic and relapsing disorder in which repeated drug exposure compromises brain neuroplasticity. Brain areas normally involved in learning and goal- directed behaviors become corrupted, which may lead ... -
Highlighting the role of cognitive and brain reserve in the substance use disorder field
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2019)Background: Cognitive reserve (CR) refers to the ability of an individual to cope with brain pathology remaining free of cognitive symptoms. This protective factor has been related to compensatory and more efficient brain ... -
Cognitive reserve mediates the severity of certain neuropsychological deficits related to cocaine use disorder
(Elsevier, 2020-08)The concept of cognitive reserve (CR) is being considered in the field of substance use disorder (SUD) by observing that there are individuals whose brain alterations are not related to the cognitive symptomatology they ... -
Adult hippocampal neurogenesis as a target for cocaine addiction: a review of recent developments
(Elsevier, 2020)Basic research in rodents has shown that adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) plays a key role in neuropsychiatric disorders that compromise hippocampal functioning. The discovery that dependence-inducing drugs regulate ... -
Remote memory of drug experiences coexists with cognitive decline and abnormal adult neurogenesis in an animal model of cocaine-altered cognition
(Wiley, 2021)Cocaine addiction is a chronic disorder in which the person loses control over drug use. The past memories of the stimuli associated with the drug are a relevant clinical problem, since they trigger compulsive drug seeking ... -
Factores asociados al rendimiento académico en la asignatura de Psicobiología: Personalidad, constancia en el esfuerzo e implicación académica
(2021)El Grado en Psicología contiene asignaturas de base biológica que los estudiantes perciben de alta dificultad y en las que muestran bajo rendimiento. El objetivo es estudiar la relación entre variables de personalidad, ... -
Estudio del cacao como potenciador de la neurogénesis y la función hipocampal en ratones adultos
(2021-12)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 ... -
Educación superior y emociones, bases epistemológicas de Maturana
(2021-11-20)Introducción. Las emociones serán entendidas como las disposiciones corporales que especifican el dominio de acción en que ese mueve el organismo. Son el fundamento de muchos aspectos de la vida y la educación es parte de ... -
¿Podemos realizar una actividad de discusión grupal en un entorno virtual?
(2021-11-20)Introducción. La adaptación de la docencia universitaria a los entornos virtuales, debido a la pandemia de la COVID-19, puede resultar más compleja en el caso de actividades que requieren una interacción dinámica entre ... -
Valoración de la docencia virtual por el profesorado universitario durante la pandemia de la COVID-19

Spatial training in the Water Maze facilitates extinction and prevents reinstatement of cocaine-induced Conditioned Place Preference
(2021)Manipulation of adult hippocampal neurogenesis has been shown to affect the establishment of cocaine-context associations as well as extinction learning and reinstatement of these maladaptive memories. In this work, we ...
