The dog vomeronasal organ: a review

Dog behavior, 2016
The vomeronasal organ (VNO) or Jacobson’s organ is an auxiliary olfactory sense organ in many vertebrates. This organ is involved in the Flehmen response and it is necessary for the detection of pheromones, chemical signals released to members of the same species for social and sexual communication.

Prosaposin/Saposin Expression in the Developing Rat Olfactory and Vomeronasal Epithelia

Journal of Developmental Biology
Prosaposin is a glycoprotein widely conserved in vertebrates, and it acts as a precursor for saposins that accelerate hydrolysis in lysosomes or acts as a neurotrophic factor without being processed into saposins.

[The vomeronasal organ--a rediscovered sensory organ].

Tidsskrift for den Norske laegeforening : tidsskrift for praktisk medicin, ny raekke, 1996
The authors review the function and anatomy of the vomeronasal organ (organ of Jacobson), a chemosensory organ situated in the nose. In mammals, stimulation of the vomeronasal organ induces sexual behaviour and changes the hormonal status of males and females.

Effect of Blockage of the Ducts of the Vomeronasal Organ on LH Plasma Levels during the “Whitten Effect” in Does

Veterinary Medicine International, 2011
Eighteen mature, nonpregnant, and indigenous South African does were randomly divided into two groups to test if their vomeronasal organs exert an influence on LH plasma levels during a Whitten effect experimental trial.
