Activity regulates functional connectivity from the vomeronasal organ to the accessory olfactory bulb.
The mammalian accessory olfactory system is specialized for the detection of chemicals that identify kin and conspecifics. Vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs) residing in the vomeronasal organ project axons to the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB), where they form synapses with principal neurons known as mitral cells. The organization of this projection is quite precise and is believed to be essent...
متن کاملAn ex vivo preparation of the intact mouse vomeronasal organ and accessory olfactory bulb.
The accessory olfactory system (AOS) in mammals detects and processes information from liquid-phase environmental odorants, including pheromones. The AOS carries out tasks such as individual recognition, learning, and decision-making with relatively few stages of neural processing; it thus represents an attractive system for investigating the neural circuits that carry out these functions. Prog...
متن کاملReliable sex and strain discrimination in the mouse vomeronasal organ and accessory olfactory bulb.
Animals modulate their courtship and territorial behaviors in response to olfactory cues produced by other animals. In rodents, detecting these cues is the primary role of the accessory olfactory system (AOS). We sought to systematically investigate the natural stimulus coding logic and robustness in neurons of the first two stages of accessory olfactory processing, the vomeronasal organ (VNO) ...

In Marcel ProustÕs novel Remembrance of Things Past, the nostalgic ßavor and fragrance of a madeleine, a delicate pastry, evokes a description of taste and smell, the senses that Òalone, more fragile but more enduring, more unsubstantial, more persistent. . . bear unßinchingly, in the tiny and almost impalpable drop of their essence, the vast structure of recollection.Ó Humans often...
متن کاملProjection pattern of vomeronasal neurons to the accessory olfactory bulb in goats.
Goats have a well-developed vomeronasal (VN) system and exhibit pheromone-induced reproductive facilitation, but there are no reports on the projection pattern of VN neurons in this species. Rodent, guinea pig and opossum accessory olfactory bulbs (AOBs) have been shown to have a segregated pattern of projection of the VN neurons, which express the two alpha-subtypes of the G-protein, namely Gi...
