The Vomeronasal organ in Buffalo
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010 This study was conducted to investigate anatomical and histological structure of vomeronasal organ in buffalo. To perform this, fifty one heads from buffalo were used. From anatomical point of view, the mean length of vno was 189±15 mm. This organ

Physiological characterization of formyl peptide receptor expressing cells in the mouse vomeronasal organ [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014 The mouse vomeronasal organ (VNO) is a chemosensory structure that detects both hetero- and conspecific social cues. Based on largely monogenic expression of either type 1 or 2 vomeronasal receptors (V1Rs / V2Rs) or members of the formyl peptide receptor

TRICK or TRP? What Trpc2-/- Mice Tell Us about Vomeronasal Organ Mediated Innate Behaviors [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015 The vomeronasal organ (VNO) plays an important role in mediating semiochemical communications and social behaviors in terrestrial species. Genetic knockout of individual components in the signaling pathways have been used to probe vomeronasal functions ...

Does the Farming Method Influence the Porcine Vomeronasal Organ Condition? A Histological Study [PDF]
AnimalsThe vomeronasal organ (VNO) plays a key role in mammals, since it detects pheromones thus enabling social interactions between congeners. VNO inflammatory changes have been shown to severely impact animal life, leading to impaired social interactions in ...

The vomeronasal organ of the tammar wallaby [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, 2008 AbstractThe vomeronasal organ is the primary olfactory organ that detects sexual pheromones in mammals. We investigated the anatomy of the vomeronasal organ of the tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii), a small macropodid marsupial. Pheromones may be important for activation of the hypothalamo‐pituitary axis of tammar males at the start of the breeding ...

Biogenic Amines in the Vomeronasal Organ [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 1997 The vomeronasal organ of frog and mouse was investigated for the presence and content of serotonin and catecholamines by means of high-performance liquid chromatography. Measurable amounts of serotonin, adrenaline and noradrenaline were found in the vomeronasal organ of adult individuals of both species. The amine content varied with sex of adult frogs

Vomeronasal and Olfactory Structures in Bats Revealed by DiceCT Clarify Genetic Evidence of Function
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2018 The degree to which molecular and morphological loss of function occurs synchronously during the vestigialization of traits is not well understood. The mammalian vomeronasal system, a sense critical for mediating many social and reproductive behaviors ...
