Bioimaging of sense organs and the central nervous system in extant fishes and reptiles in situ: A review

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 826-852, April 2026.
Bioimaging of the sense organs and brain of fishes and reptiles. Left panel: 3D reconstruction of the head and brain of the deep‐sea viperfish Chauliodus sloani following diceCT. Right panel: A 3D reconstruction of a 70‐day‐old embryo head of the bearded dragon Pogona vitticeps following diceCT, showing the position of the segmented brain within the ...

But how does it smell? An investigation of olfactory bulb size among living and fossil primates and other euarchontoglirans

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 1037-1060, April 2026.
Analysis of cranial endocast data of 181 extant and 41 fossil species from Euarchontoglires shows that there was a reduction in olfactory bulb size in Crown Primates, but that there were also subsequent reductions in various other primate clades (Anthropoidea, Catarrhini, Platyrrhini, crown Cercopithecoidea, Hominoidea).

Functional Overexpression of Vomeronasal Receptors Using a Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1)-Derived Amplicon.

PLoS ONE, 2016
In mice, social behaviors such as mating and aggression are mediated by pheromones and related chemosignals. The vomeronasal organ (VNO) detects olfactory information from other individuals by sensory neurons tuned to respond to specific chemical cues ...

Thermal signatures of human pheromones in sexual and reproductive behaviour [PDF]

, 2010
Chemically mediated sexual communication in humans has been largely neglected due to its non-conscious and relatively concealed nature. However, menstrual cycle synchronisation, puberty onset in young pre-pubertal girls exposed to their stepfather, and ...

Use of Computational Models to Investigate Human Targets of Small Ubiquitous Molecules

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, April 2026.
Chemoinformatics and atomistic modeling were combined to identify protein targets of environmentally and occupationally relevant chemical compounds. A public database linking chemicals, genes, phenotypes, and diseases was used for validation. The study highlights the potential and limitations of these fast, low‐cost computational approaches for early ...

Comparison of sexual behaviours and libido changes in septorhinoplasty patients with vomeronasal organ dissection by gender: A clinical study

Medicine Science
Animals use the vomeronasal organ for interactions, including sexual intercourse, with conspecifics. Whether this orientation exists in humans is not yet fully understood.

The evolution of pheromonal communication [PDF]

Small-brained rodents have been the principle focus for pheromonal research and have provided comprehensive insights into the chemosensory mechanisms that underpin pheromonal communication and the hugely important roles that pheromones play in ...

Co-regulation of a large and rapidly evolving repertoire of odorant receptor genes [PDF]

, 2007
The olfactory system meets niche- and species-specific demands by an accelerated evolution of its odorant receptor repertoires. In this review, we describe evolutionary processes that have shaped olfactory and vomeronasal receptor gene families in ...

Vomeronasal Organ: Pheromone Recognition with a Twist [PDF]

Current Biology, 2003
Pheromones are detected by the vomeronasal organ using members of two receptor superfamilies: the V1Rs and V2Rs. New studies show that MHC class I molecules are co-expressed in particular combinations with specific V2Rs in the vomeronasal organ. The role of these MHC molecules is unknown, but they may be of considerable biological significance.

Exploring Larval Axolotl Brain Development: Insights Into Developmental and Functional Constraints

Evolution &Development, Volume 28, Issue 1, March 2026.
We studied brain shape and volume variations during larval development of the Mexican axolotl. Modularity, morphological integration, and allometric regressions supported both mosaic and concerted evolution models, highlighting a complex interplay of constraints during axolotl ontogeny.
