    • Aromatic Bromination Abolishes the Psychomotor Features and Pro-social Responses of MDMA (“Ecstasy”) in ... 
      Sáez Briones, Patricio; Castro Castillo, Vicente; Díaz Véliz, Gabriela; Valladares Boasi, Luis; Barra, Rafael; Hernández, Alejandro; Cassels Niven, Bruce (Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)
      The entactogen MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine, “Ecstasy”) exerts its psychotropic effects acting primarily as a substrate of the serotonin transporter (SERT) to induce a non-exocytotic release of serotonin. ...
    • Early postnatal environmental enrichment restores neurochemical and functional plasticities of the cerebral ... 
      Burgos, Héctor; Hernández, Alejandro; Constandil, Luis; Ríos, Miguel; Flores, Osvaldo; Puentes, Gustavo; Hernández, Karina; Morgan, Carlos; Valladares Boasi, Luis; Castillo, Amparo; Cofre, Christian; Milla, Luis A.; Sáez-Briones, Patricio; Barra, Rafael (Elsevier B.V., 2019)
      Moderate reduction of dietary protein (from 25% to 8% casein) in pregnant rats, calorically compensated by carbohydrates, gives rise to ‘hidden prenatal malnutrition’ (HPM) in the offspring since it does not alter body and ...
    • Effect of prenatal protein malnutrition on long-term potentiation and BDNF protein expression in the rat ... 
      Hernández, Alejandro; Burgos, Héctor; Mondaca, Mauricio; Barra, Rafael; Núñez, Héctor; Pérez, Hernán; Soto Moyano, Rubén; Sierralta, Walter; Fernández, Victor; Olivares, Ricardo; López Valladares, Luis (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2008)
      Reduction of the protein content from 25 to 8% casein in the diet of pregnant rats results in impaired neocortical long-term potentiation (LTP) of the offspring together with lower visuospatial memory performance. The ...
    • Effects of interleukin-1β on spinal cord nociceptive transmission in intact and propentofylline-treated rats 
      Arriagada, Osvaldo; Constandil, Luis; Hernández, Alejandro; Barra, Rafael; Soto Moyano, Rubén; Laurido, Claudio (2007)
      To investigate the contribution of glial cells in the spinal cord nociceptive transmission, the effect of intrathecally administered interleukin-1β (IL-1β) was studied in rats treated with the glial cell inactivator ...
    • Facts and hypotheses about the programming of neuroplastic deficits by prenatal malnutrition 
      Barra, Rafael; Morgan, Carlos; Sáez Briones, Patricio; Reyes Parada, Miguel; Burgos, Héctor; Morales, Bernardo; Hernández, Alejandro (Oxford University Press, 2019)
      © The Author(s) 2018.Studies in rats have shown that a decrease in either protein content or total dietary calories results in molecular, structural, and functional changes in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, among ...
    • Temporal window in which exposure to estradiol permanently modifies ovarian function causing polycystic ... 
      Cruz, Gonzalo; Barra, Rafael; González, Daniel; Sotomayor Zárate, Ramón; Lara Peñaloza, Hernán (2012)
      Objective: To investigate the developmental window in which E2 exposure produces irreversible changes in ovarian function resulting in polycystic ovary. Design: Basic experimental study. Setting: University animal laboratory. ...
    • β2-Adrenoceptor stimulation restores frontal cortex plasticity and improves visuospatial performance in ...
