The human vomeronasal system
@article{MontiBloch1994TheHV, title={The human vomeronasal system}, author={L. Monti-Bloch and C. Jennings-White and D. Dolberg and D. Berliner}, journal={Psychoneuroendocrinology}, year={1994}, volume={19}, pages={673-686} }
We studied the functional characteristics of the vomeronasal system in clinically normal adult subjects of both sexes (ages 20-45). Chemosensory substances were administered in punctate pulses in a continuous air stream from the tip of a multifunctional miniprobe, which contained a nonpolarizable electrode. Negative potentials with the characteristics of receptor potentials were recorded from the surface of the vomeronasal organ (VNO) and olfactory epithelium (OE) in response to certain… CONTINUE READING
