Studies on the Effects of the Antiandrogen Cyproterone Acetate on Social Encounters Between Pairs of Male Mice

1988

An attempt was made in two experiments to reinvestigate the effects of the antiandrogen cyproterone acetate (CA) on mouse social behavior in a variety of ethologically-assessed paired encounters. The data confirm that CA reduces offense (threat and attack) in animals when both subjects receive the material but that CA has no such action in other pairings. This suggests that CA's major suppressive effect on "hostility" is expressed in mice via a reduction in "attack-promoting" pheromone production. Indeed, there was evidence in the more chronic study that CA, could augment (via a central mechanism?) offense in subjects paired with docile anosmic opponents. Changes in defense were largely res…

Mindfulness y neurobiología

2006

En la actualidad asistimos a la introducción de las técnicas de mindfulness en la educación, la psicoterapia y en todo el ámbito científico en general. Una de las razones de este auge son los conocimientos proporcionados por las modernas técnicas de investigación neurobiológica. En este trabajo revisamos algunos de los efectos de mindfulness sobre los procesos perceptivos (apertura a la novedad), el estilo afectivo (afecto positivo y aproximación), la inmunidad (incremento) y la empatía (facilitación). Los hallazgos neurobiológicos sugieren que la práctica de mindfulness activa y fortalece diversas regiones cerebrales (especialmente la corteza prefrontal) encargadas de los procesos integrad…
