Contribution of pheromones processed by the main olfactory system to mate recognition in female mammals

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2012
Until recently it was widely believed that the ability of female mammals (with the likely exception of women) to identify and seek out a male breeding partner relied on the detection of non-volatile male pheromones by the female’s vomeronasal organ and ...

VOMERONASAL ORGAN IN HUMAN BEING

open access: yesClinical anatomy and operative surgery
Abstract. The sensory organs transmit physical (sight, hearing, and touch) or chemical (smell, taste) signals. In particular, chemoreceptors of the respiratory epithelium are anatomically connected to the structures of the limbic system, and therefore contribute to the formation of emotions, memories, and behavior. Purpose of the study. To investigate

Signaling mechanisms and behavioral function of the mouse basal vomeronasal neuroepithelium

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014
The vomeronasal organ (VNO) is a sensory organ that is found in most terrestrial vertebrates and that is principally implicated in the detection of pheromones.

Postnatal Development of the Rat Vomeronasal Organ [PDF]

open access: yesChemical Senses, 2005
The vomeronasal organ (VNO), also know as Jacobson’s organ, is a paired chemosensory organ mediating the perception of chemical stimuli related to social and/or reproductive behavior (for review, see Farbman, 1992). In rodents, it is an elongated tube, with a crescentshaped sensory epithelium (SE) consisting of basal cells, bipolar neurons and ...

Coadaptation of the chemosensory system with voluntary exercise behavior in mice.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Ethologically relevant chemical senses and behavioral habits are likely to coadapt in response to selection. As olfaction is involved in intrinsically motivated behaviors in mice, we hypothesized that selective breeding for a voluntary behavior would ...

Activity Dependent Modulation of Granule Cell Survival in the Accessory Olfactory Bulb at Puberty

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2017
The vomeronasal system (VNS) is specialized in the detection of salient chemical cues triggering social and neuroendocrine responses. Such responses are not always stereotyped, instead, they vary depending on age, sex, and reproductive state, yet the ...

Lack of spatial segregation in the representation of pheromones and kairomones in the mouse medial amygdala.

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
The nervous system is organized to detect, internally represent and process sensory information to generate appropriate behaviors. Despite the crucial importance of odors that elicit instinctive behaviors, such as pheromones and kairomones, their neural ...
