The vomeronasal system of mammals is chemoarchitecturally dichotomous. Two populations of receptor cells have been identified in the vomeronasal sensory epithelium based on the family of receptor proteins they express on their membranes. These two receptor cell populations express different G-protei

## Abstract Mammalian vomeronasal receptors respond to pheromones conveying information on gender, reproductive status and individual recognition. The question arises as to how this information is coded, which parts of the code require combinatorial activity and whether or not there are specific re
## Abstract Tetrapods have two distinct nasal chemosensory systems, the main olfactory system and the vomeronasal system (VNS). Defined by certain morphological components, the main olfactory system is present in all groups of vertebrates, while the VNS is found only in tetrapods. Previous attempts
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
The distribution of the calcium-binding protein calretinin was studied in peripheral and central parts of the main olfactory system (MOS) and the vomeronasal system (VNS) of adult tree shrew Tupaia belangeri. The calretinin immunoreaction was carried out with a peroxidase-coupled polyclonal antibody
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
