Overview

Fernando Martínez-García is affiliated with Jaume I University in Spain and focuses research primarily within the fields of neuroscience and psychology. Their work spans several subfields, including social psychology, behavioral neuroscience, endocrine and autonomic systems, sensory systems, and endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism.

The scientist's research centers predominantly on neuroendocrine regulation and behavior, with significant contributions also related to stress responses and cortisol, olfactory and sensory function studies, regulation of appetite and obesity, hypothalamic control of reproductive hormones, neuroscience of respiration and sleep, as well as forensic toxicology and drug analysis.

Recent papers by Martínez-García and collaborators include:

  • Becoming a mother shifts the activity of the social and motivation brain networks in mice, 2022, published in iScience
  • Maternal Motivation: Exploring the Roles of Prolactin and Pup Stimuli, 2020, Neuroendocrinology
  • Pregnancy Changes the Response of the Vomeronasal and Olfactory Systems to Pups in Mice, 2020, Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
  • Novel sampling strategy for alive animal volatolome extraction combined with GC-MS based untargeted metabolomics: Identifying mouse pup pheromones, 2021, Talanta
  • In-depth comparison of the metabolic and pharmacokinetic behaviour of the structurally related synthetic cannabinoids AMB-FUBINACA and AMB-CHMICA in rats, 2022, Communications Biology

Frequent co-authors collaborating extensively with Martínez-García include Enrique Lanuza, Carmen Agustín-Pavón, Manuela Barneo-Muñoz, Cinta Navarro-Moreno, and María José Sánchez-Catalán.

The scientist frequently publishes in journals such as Brain Structure and Function, Communications Biology, Talanta, IBRO Neuroscience Reports, and iScience, demonstrating a broad engagement with neuroscience and related interdisciplinary research areas.
