Integrated action of pheromone signals in promoting courtship behavior in male mice

open access: yeseLife, 2014
The mammalian vomeronasal organ encodes pheromone information about gender, reproductive status, genetic background and individual differences. It remains unknown how pheromone information interacts to trigger innate behaviors. In this study, we identify

Inside the head of Crotalus durissus LINNAEUS, 1758 (Serpentes, Viperidae, Crotalinae): Macroscopic description of the brain with ontogenetic insights

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 1, Page 201-213, January 2026.
Abstract Neuroanatomy studies in vertebrates have garnered significant attention in recent years, particularly driven by advancements in computerized tomography imaging techniques. Nonetheless, these advancements remain largely constrained to specific vertebrate groups, notably mammals, birds, and fish, leaving studies in reptiles at an incipient stage.

Conserved repertoire of orthologous vomeronasal type 1 receptor genes in ruminant species

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background In mammals, pheromones play an important role in social and innate reproductive behavior within species. In rodents, vomeronasal receptor type 1 (V1R), which is specifically expressed in the vomeronasal organ, is thought to detect pheromones ...

Sensing danger: Energetic and hydric costs of chemoreception in a lizard

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3396-3404, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding the benefits and costs of chemoreception and predator avoidance is crucial for unravelling the ecological adaptations of potential prey organisms. In squamate reptiles, tongue flicking is a specialized behaviour used to collect chemical cues from the ...

Vomeronasal organ and human pheromones

open access: yesEuropean Annals of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Diseases, 2011
For many organisms, pheromonal communication is of particular importance in managing various aspects of reproduction. In tetrapods, the vomeronasal (Jacobson's) organ specializes in detecting pheromones in biological substrates of congeners. This information triggers behavioral changes associated, in the case of certain pheromones, with neuroendocrine ...

Morphological characterization of the nasopalatine region in human fetuses and its association to pathologies

open access: yesJournal of Applied Oral Science, 2013
The nasopalatine region is composed of structures such as the vomeronasal organ and nasopalatine duct. The nasopalatine duct may provide the communication of the mouth to the nasal cavity in human fetuses and can be obliterated in an adult human ...
