In many mammalian species, the accessory olfactory system plays a central role in guiding
behavioral and physiological responses to social and reproductive interactions. Because of …

In mammals, the accessory olfactory system is a distinct circuit that has received attention for
its role in detecting and responding to pheromones. While the neuroscientific investigation of …

The accessory olfactory system controls social and sexual behavior. However, key aspects
of sensory signaling along the accessory olfactory pathway remain largely unknown. Here …

Key points• Here, in mouse brain slices, we examined the cellular effects of noradrenaline to
better understand its influence on olfactory bulb processing.• β‐and α1‐adrenergic receptor …

This article is part of a Special Issue “Chemosignals and Reproduction”. A rich variety of
chemosignals have been identified that influence mammalian behaviour, including peptides …

The vomeronasal system (VNS) is a major vertebrate chemosensory system that functions in
parallel to the main olfactory system (MOS). Despite many similarities, the two systems …

Norepinephrine (NE) release has been linked to experience-dependent plasticity in many
model systems and brain regions. Among these is the rodent accessory olfactory system …

An important contribution to neural circuit oscillatory dynamics is the ongoing activation and
inactivation of hyperpolarization-activated currents (I h). Network synchrony dynamics play …

Social communication is crucial for the survival of many species. In most vertebrates, a
dedicated chemosensory system, the vomeronasal system (VNS), evolved to process …

In the mouse accessory olfactory bulb (AOB), inhibitory interneurons play an essential role in
gating behaviors elicited by sensory exposure to social odors. Several morphological …
