Vomeronasal tissues from four male gnotobiotic calves were prepared for transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Features described include: non-myelinated nerves in the non-neurosensory lamina propria, capillaries in the base of the neurosensory epithelium, sustentacular cells with microvilli 22-26 micron long, neurosensory cells with numerous ...

We investigated the role of the main olfactory and accessory olfactory systems (MOS and AOS respectively) in the detection of androstenone. We used the following experimental approaches: behavioral, surgical removal of the vomeronasal organ (VNX ...

Human vomeronasal epithelium development: An immunohistochemical overview [PDF]
The vomeronasal organ (VNO) is the receptor structure of the vomeronasal system (VNS) in vertebrates. It is found bilaterally in the submucosa of the inferior part of the nasal septum.

Molecular evolutionary characterization of a V1R subfamily unique to strepsirrhine primates. [PDF]
Vomeronasal receptor genes have frequently been invoked as integral to the establishment and maintenance of species boundaries among mammals due to the elaborate one-to-one correspondence between semiochemical signals and neuronal sensory inputs.

Ligand Recognition and Function of TAARs
The trace amine‐associated receptor (TAAR) family represents a highly conserved group of G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) in vertebrates. TAARs specifically bind to different amine ligands and mediate a variety of physiological and behavioral processes.

Abstract Blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius Schott) and mugwort (Artemisia campestris L.) are plants traditionally used to treat various pathologies, including hypertension. The vasodilatory and hypotensive effects of blackberry were investigated through experiments in rat models (n = 5 rats per group) and compared with those of mugwort, which had been ...

Deciphering the chemical language of inbred and wild mouse conspecific scents
In most mammals, conspecific chemosensory communication relies on semiochemical release within complex bodily secretions and subsequent stimulus detection by the vomeronasal organ (VNO).

Sex pheromones are not always attractive: changes induced by learning and illness in mice [PDF]
A male-specific major urinary protein named darcin is attractive to female mice, Mus musculus, stimulates a learned attraction to volatile components of a male's urinary odour and induces spatial learning. In this article we show that darcin also induces

Until recently it was widely believed that the ability of female mammals (with the likely exception of women) to identify and seek out a male breeding partner relied on the detection of non-volatile male pheromones by the female’s vomeronasal organ and ...

VOMERONASAL ORGAN IN HUMAN BEING
Abstract. The sensory organs transmit physical (sight, hearing, and touch) or chemical (smell, taste) signals. In particular, chemoreceptors of the respiratory epithelium are anatomically connected to the structures of the limbic system, and therefore contribute to the formation of emotions, memories, and behavior. Purpose of the study. To investigate
