      Background: Corticosterone reduction produced by adrenalectomy (ADX) induces apoptosis in dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus, an effect related to an increase in the expression of the pro-apoptotic gene bax. However it ...

      Background: Animals that have chronically consumed alcohol and are subsequently deprived of it markedly increase their intake above basal levels when access to alcohol is reinstated. Such an effect, termed the alcohol ...

G.; van Zundert, Brigitte; Leyton Campos, Lisette (BIOMED Central Ltd., 2017)
      Background: Neuroinflammation involves cytokine release, astrocyte reactivity and migration. Neuronal Thy-1 promotes DITNC1 astrocyte migration by engaging alpha(V)beta(3) Integrin and Syndecan-4. Primary astrocytes express ...
    • Mattalloni, M. S.; Salinas, C.; Quintanilla González, María Elena; Herrera-Marschitz Muller, Mario; Israel Jacard, Yedy; Cancela, L. M.; Rivera Meza, Mario; Virgolini, M. B. (Oxford Univ Press, 2015)

      Background: A number of studies have shown that acetaldehyde synthesized in the brain is necessary to induce ethanol (EtOH) reinforcement in naive animals (acquisition phase). However, after chronic intake is achieved ...
    • Cárdenas Muñoz, Sergio Patricio; Parra, C.; Bravo, Jaime F.; Morales, P.; Lara Peñaloza, Hernán; Herrera-Marschitz Muller, Mario; Fiedler Temer, Jenny (ELSEVIER SCI IRELAND LTD, 2002-10-04)
      It has previously been shown that adrenalectomy (ADX) produces apoptosis in the granule cell of the dentate gyrus (DG), and that this effect is prevented by corticosterone replacement. Thus, we have investigated how this ...
    • Brugues S., Susana; Brunetti F., Enzo; Herrera-Marschitz Muller, Mario; Maldonado Arbogast, Pedro (Elsevier, 2016)
    • Quintanilla González, María Elena; Bustamante, Diego; Tampier de Jong, Lutske; Israel Jacard, Yedy; Herrera-Marschitz Muller, Mario (2007)
      Lower tissue levels of dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) have been found in the nucleus accumbens of alcohol-naïve rats selectively bred to prefer ethanol than in rats bred to avoid it. These findings have led to the ...
    • Flores Balter, Gabriela; Córdova Jadue, Héctor; Chiti Morales, Alessandra; Lespay Rebolledo, Carolyne; Espina Marchant, Pablo; Falcón Argandoña, Romina; Grinspun Siguelnitzky, Noemi; Sánchez Torres, Jessica; Bustamante Cádiz, Diego; Morales Retamales, Paola; Herrera-Marschitz Muller, Mario; Valdés Guerrero, José (Elsevier, 2016)
      Perinatal asphyxia (PA) is associated with long-term neuronal damage and cognitive deficits in adulthood, such as learning and memory disabilities. After PA, specific brain regions are compromised, including neocortex, ...
    • Morales, P.; Reyes, P.; Klawitter, Verena; Huaiquín, P.; Bustamante, Diego; Fiedler Temer, Jenny; Herrera-Marschitz Muller, Mario (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2005)
      The present report summarizes studies combining an in vivo and in vitro approach, where asphyxia is induced in vivo at delivery time of Wistar rats, and the long term effects on hippocampus neurocircultry are investigated ...
    • Karahanian, Eduardo; Quintanilla González, María Elena; Tampier de Jong, Lutske; Rivera Meza, Mario; Bustamante, Diego; González Lira, Víctor; Morales, Paola; Herrera-Marschitz Muller, Mario; Israel Jacard, Yedy (2011)
      Background: While the molecular entity responsible for the rewarding effects of virtually all drugs of abuse is known, that for ethanol remains uncertain. Some lines of evidence suggest that the rewarding effects of alcohol ...
    • Bustamante, Diego; Quintanilla González, María Elena; Tampier de Jong, Lutske; González, Víctor; Israel Jacard, Yedy; Herrera-Marschitz Muller, Mario (ELSEVIER, 2008-09-04)
      Several studies on the differences between ethanol-preferring versus non-preferring rat lines suggest an innate deficit in the mesolimbic dopaminergic system as an underlying factor for ethanol volition. Rats would try to ...
    • Herrera-Marschitz Muller, Mario; Bustamante, Diego; Morales, Paola; Goiny, Michel (2007)
      The detailed anatomy of the monoamine pathways of the rat, first described by the students of Nils-Åke Hillarp in Sweden, provided the basis for a neurocircuitry targeted pharmacology, leading to important therapeutic ...
