The biological olfactory system is the sensory system responsible for the detection of the
chemical composition of the environment. Several attempts to mimic biological olfactory …

Communication between individuals is critical for species survival, reproduction, and
expansion. Most terrestrial species, with the exception of humans who predominantly use …

Background Rodents utilize chemical cues to recognize and avoid other conspecifics
infected with pathogens. Infection with pathogens and acute inflammation alter the repertoire …

Chemical cues and pheromones mediate fish reproduction, aggregation, risk assessment,
and kin recognition. To better understand the chemical communication of conspecific fish …

Animals have the innate ability to select optimal defensive behaviors with appropriate
intensity within specific contexts. The vomeronasal organ (VNO) serves as a primary sensory …

Neural circuit analysis relies on having molecular markers for specific cell types. However,
for a cell type identified only by its circuit function, the process of identifying markers remains …

The olfactory system is an ideal and tractable system for exploring how the brain transforms
sensory inputs into behaviour. The basic tasks of any olfactory system include odour …

Chemosensory cues are vital for social and sexual behaviours and are primarily detected
and processed by the vomeronasal system (VNS), whose plastic capacity has been …

Pheromones are specialized chemical messengers used for inter-individual communication
within the same species, playing crucial roles in modulating behaviors and physiological …

The accessory olfactory system (AOS) is critical for the development and expression of
social behavior. The first dedicated circuit in the AOS, the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) …
