✦ Synopsis

The latest reports on the anatomical and functional characteristics of the vomeronasal organ (VNO) are evaluated. The high incidence of identification of the vomeronasal organ in normal individuals indicates that the vomeronasal organ in normal individuals indicates that the vomeronasal system is a universal feature of the adult human nasal cavity. Evaluation of the neuronal connections between this organ and the central nervous system shows that the VNO is a functional chemosensory system with sexually dimorphic specificity and the ability to transduce signals that modulate certain autonomic parameters. The presence of the VNO and its clinical significance must be considered by plastic surgeons during nasal operations.

Background: Vomeronasal organs (VNOs) are paired epithelial structures located adjacent to the nasal septum that form in the late first trimester of human fetal development. Although VNOs have long been known to exist in fetal and adult humans, some studies continue to suggest that these structures

## Abstract Chemosensory‐based communication is a vital signaling tool in most species, and evidence has recently emerged in support of the notion that humans also use social chemosignals (so‐called pheromones) to communicate. An ongoing controversy does exist, however, concerning the receptor orga

We have explored the use of a new model to study the transduction of chemosignals in the vomeronasal organ (VNO), for which the functional pathway for chemical communication is incompletely understood. Because putative vomeronasal receptors in mammalian and other vertebrate models belong to the supe
