The neuronal processing of pheromone signals within distinctive brain structures leads to marked changes in animal behaviour and endocrine status. The highly reproducible and species-specific character of the response to pheromones offers a unique opportunity to uncover the neural basis of genetically pre-programmed behaviours. Molecular and genetic investigation of the mechanisms underlying pheromone pheromone-evoked responses in the mouse nose and brain have revealed a neura...
