A case of a persistent vomeronasal organ is reported. Awareness of its presence resulted from its communication with a nasopalatine cyst which in turn communicated with an alveolar socket following tooth extraction.

Science, 1999
The vomeronasal organ (VNO) is a chemoreceptor organ enclosed in a cartilaginous capsule and separated from the main olfactory epithelium. The vomeronasal neurons have two distinct types of receptor that differ from each other and from the large family of odorant receptors.

Consequences of removing the vomeronasal organ
The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1991In the last decade, research in our laboratories has focused on the effects of deafferentation of the mammalian chemosensory vomeronasal organ (VNX). Many different assays have been conducted and the results of some are briefly reviewed in this contribution, including the effects of VNX on neuroanatomical assessments using histochemistry (lectin ...

Nose surgery and the vomeronasal organ
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 1995The latest reports on the anatomical and functional characteristics of the vomeronasal organ (VNO) are evaluated. The high incidence of identification of the vomeronasal organ in normal individuals indicates that the vomeronasal organ in normal individuals indicates that the vomeronasal system is a universal feature of the adult human nasal cavity ...

Ultrastructure of the human vomeronasal organ
The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1991Virtually all vertebrates have a vomeronasal system whose involvement in pheromone detection plays a crucial role in reproduction. In humans, the vomeronasal organ has been assumed to be vestigial or absent and without functional significance. In the present study involving over 400 subjects, vomeronasal pits were observed in all individuals except ...

The vomeronasal (VN) organ of Jacobson is the receptor organ of the accessory olfactory system (AOS). The VN organ consists mainly of an olfactory epithelium (OE) and a vascular pump. The OE is characterised by the presence of primary receptor neurons whose axons form the VN nerve and contact the secondary neurons in the AO bulb (AOB). Hence the neural

Organization of the vomeronasal organ in a plethodontid salamander
Journal of Morphology, 1988AbstractSalamanders in the family Plethodontidae show a unique behavior (nose‐tapping) and have unique structures (nasolabial grooves) that may be used specifically to convey chemicals to the vomeronasal organ. The nasal structure of Plethodon cinereus was studied to determine if there is enhanced development of the vomeronasal organ compared with ...

The Vomeronasal Organ of the Male Ferret
Chemical Senses, 1999The vomeronasal organ (VNO) is known to play a major role in sexual behavior in many mammals. This study is the first report that the adult male ferret has a VNO, which is considerably smaller and morphologically different from the usually crescent-shaped epithelium in several mammalian species, particularly rodents.

Pheromone transduction in the vomeronasal organ
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1996Single-cell physiology and cloning efforts have extended studies of the vomeronasal organ to cellular and molecular levels. Recent work has shown that transduction in the vomeronasal organ is probably mediated by signalling pathways distinct from those that mediate transduction in the main olfactory system.

Prenatal development of the mammalian vomeronasal organ
Microscopy Research and Technique, 1998The vomeronasal organ (VNO) originates from the medial wall of the olfactory pit shortly after the middle of the embryonic period in mammals. The Anlage stage consists of a cellular bud that grows dorsally, caudally, and towards the midline leaving a groove.
