Vomeronasal Receptors and Signal Transduction in the Vomeronasal Organ of Mammals

, 2014
Intraspecific communication involves the activation of chemoreceptors and subsequent activation of different central areas that coordinate the responses of the entire organism—ranging from behavioral modification to modulation of hormones release. Animals emit intraspecific chemical signals, often referred to as pheromones, to advertise their presence ...

Dog and mouse: Towards a balanced view of the mammalian olfactory system

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014
Although the most intensively studied mammalian olfactory system is that of the mouse, in which olfactory chemical cues of one kind or another are detected in four different nasal areas (the main olfactory epithelium, the septal organ, Grüneberg’s ...

Optogenetic activation of accessory olfactory bulb input to the forebrain differentially modulates investigation of opposite versus same-sex urinary chemosignals and stimulates mating in male mice [PDF]

, 2017
Surgical or genetic disruption of vomeronasal organ (VNO)-accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) function previously eliminated the ability of male mice to processes pheromones that elicit territorial behavior and aggression.

The branches of the descending palatine artery and their relation to the vomeronasal organ inAngoragoats

Veterinární Medicína, 2006
The aim of this study was to reveal the branches of the descending palatine artery, and its relation to the vomeronasal organ inAngoragoats. For this purpose, ten heads of adultAngoragoats obtained from a slaughterhouse were used.

Descriptive Histology and Anatomy of the Nasal Cavity and Its Associated Sensory Organs in the European Hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) Based on Four Standardised Transverse Sections. [PDF]

Anat Histol Embryol
ABSTRACT The nasal cavity of European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) harbours a well‐developed olfactory system, essential for food provision and communication. Additionally, it acts as a first line of defence by preventing pathogens and irritants from reaching the lungs, thereby playing an important physiological role.

A recent class of chemosensory neurons developed in mouse and rat. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
In most animal species, the vomeronasal organ ensures the individual recognition of conspecifics, a prerequisite for a successful reproduction. The vomeronasal organ expresses several receptors for pheromone detection. Mouse vomeronasal type-2 receptors (

Histology and lectin histochemistry in the vomeronasal organ of Korean native cattle, Bos taurus coreanae

Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2021
The vomeronasal organ (VNO) is critical for reproduction and social behavior in ruminants, including cattle. The present study examined the structure of the VNO and its epithelial cells in neonatal and adult Korean native cattle (Hanwoo), Bos taurus ...

On the development of the chondrocranium and the histological anatomy of the head in perinatal stages of marsupial mammals [PDF]

, 2017
An overview of the literature on the chondrocranium of marsupial mammals reveals a relative conservatism in shape and structures. We document the histological cranial anatomy of individuals representing Monodelphis domestica, Dromiciops gliroides ...

Tuning Properties and Dynamic Range of Type 1 Vomeronasal Receptors

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
The mouse vomeronasal organ expresses chemosensory receptors that detect intra-species as well as inter-species cues. The vomeronasal neurons are thought to be highly selective in their responses.

Behavioral changes of patients after orthognathic surgery develop on the basis of the loss of vomeronasal organ: a hypothesis

Head & Face Medicine, 2009
We introduce a hypothesis which presumes that damage to the vomeronasal organ during a Le Fort I osteotomy of the maxilla for the purpose of orthognathic surgical treatment of congenital or acquired jaw deformities affects the patient's social life in ...
