Sensory neurobiology: Muscles power pheromone sensation

Curr Biol. 2024 Mar 25;34(6):R257-R259. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2024.02.020.ABSTRACTWhile we understand how the five main sensory organs enable and facilitate stimulus detection, little is known about how the vomeronasal organ enables pheromone sensation. A new study finds specialized muscles poised to coordinate stimulus delivery, dynamics, and arousal.PMID:38531322 | DOI:10.1016/j.cub.2024.02.020
