This review will discuss changes observed in the cell dynamics of the vomeronasal epithelium (VNE) of snakes during embryonic and postnatal growth. Recent work suggests that neuronal differentiation occurs early in VNE development. We have used an antibody to an evolutionarily conserved peptide sequ

## Abstract The olfactory epithelium and the vomeronasal organ of the Japanese striped snake were examined by lectin histochemistry. Of the 21 lectins used in the study, all lectins except succinylatedβwheat germ agglutinin (sβWGA) showed similar binding patterns in the vomeronasal receptor cells a
## Abstract Vomeronasal chemoreception, an important chemical sense in squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes), is mediated by paired vomeronasal organs (VNOs), which are only accessible via ducts opening through the palate anteriorly. We comparatively examined the morphology of the oral cavity in l
