The present study evaluates the contribution of the receptor cell compartment to the total mucosal odorant uptake. Using radioactive odorants, partition coefficients for normal bullfrog olfactory mucosa were compared to the partition coefficients from mucosa in which the receptor cells had been
Electrovomeronasogram (EVG) recordings were made from adult garter snakes, Thamnophis sirtalis. Stimulation of vomeronasal epithelium with a stimulus prepared from prey, earthworm electric shock secretion (ESS), evoked EVG response in a dose-dependent manner. The magnitude of the EVG response to ESS
The olfactory sensory neurons in the vertebrate nervous system are unique in that they undergo continuous neurogenesis and replacement. Anatomical studies have shown that transection of the olfactory nerves leads to a degeneration of sensory neurons followed by a neurogenesis and replacement with
