The vomeronasal organ of Lemur catta
American Journal of Primatology, 2014The vomeronasal organ (VNO), also known as the Jacobson's organ, is a bilateral chemosensory organ found at the base of the nasal cavity specialized for the detection of higher‐molecular weight (non‐volatile) chemostimuli. It has been linked to pheromone detection.

[The human vomeronasal organ].
Der Nervenarzt, 2004Odors influence human behavior. The perception of so-called pheromones is frequently mentioned in the context of a functional vomeronasal organ. Vomeronasal ducts can be detected in approximately half of the population. Its functionality, still a matter of debate, seems to be unlikely, at least after birth.

Structure and function of the vomeronasal organ
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1998ABSTRACT Many animals use their vomeronasal organs to gain direct and specific contact with chemical cues released by congeners and in biological fluids. These cues provide information about the physiological status of the emitter and facilitate or regulate social interactions such as sexual relationships.

The vomeronasal organ was studied in mature dogs with the optical, transmission electron, and scanning electron microscopes. The canine vomeronasal complex is structurally well developed. Large blood vessels are present deep to both the lateral, 'non-receptor' and medial, 'receptor' epithelia.

Structure and Function of the Vomeronasal Organ
2006The vomeronasal organ (VNO) is a complex of different structures that forward specific chemical signals commonly called pheromones to the central nervous system. In some macrosmatic animals, e.g. rodents, the VNO consists of vomeronasal receptor neurons located in a sensory epithelium of the vomeronasal duct, their afferent axons connecting the duct ...

[The human vomeronasal organ].
Laryngo- rhino- otologie, 2003The vomeronasal system in mammals plays an important role in social and reproductive behaviour. Pheromones are airborne chemical signals that are released by an individual into the environment and affects another member of the same species. The human vomeronasal system was commonly regarded as vestigial, but recently new interest is focussed on this ...

The Organization and Function of the Vomeronasal System
Annual Review of Neuroscience, 1987The vomeronasal (VN) organ is a chemoreceptive structure situated at the base of the nasal septum of most terrestrial vertebrates. Structurally, the VN system is very similar to the main olfactory system. Functionally, the VN and main olfactory systems have different roles in the execution of several species-typical behaviors that depend on reception ...

Vomeronasal Organ and Nervus Terminalis
1988General description, anatomy, and distribution. The vomeronasal organ (VNO), or Jacobson’s organ, is a chemoreceptor organ, present in most tetrapod species, that is important in intraspecific chemical (pheromone) communication. The paired organs are separate from the main olfactory organ, being enclosed within the vomer bone or cartilage at each side ...
