The mouse vomeronasal organ (VNO) and its influence on behavior. In the center, a coronal section of half a VNO is represented. A, apical layer of sensory epithelium; B, basal layer of sensory epithelium; BV, blood vessel; C, cavernous tissue; L, lumen. Behaviors affected (crosses) and not affected (ticks) by ablation of genes that pattern the VNO in male (right) and female (left) mice. Each box is shaded to indicate the layer of the VNO that the gene patterns. TRPC2 (white) is expressed in both layers.
