Pheromone Sensing in Mammals: A Review of the Vomeronasal System

Pheromone Sensing in Mammals: A Review of the Vomeronasal System

This review addresses the role of chemical communication in mammals, giving special attention to the vomeronasal system in pheromone-mediated interactions. The vomeronasal system influences many social and sexual behaviors, from reproduction to species recognition. Interestingly, this system shows g...
