This study examines how predator-associated chemosignals influence risk assessment behaviors and vomeronasal neuron activity in mice, revealing distinct spatiotemporal patterns and neural responses to different predator cues.

This study shows that the vomeronasal system decodes biological state from bile acid patterns, revealing sensitivity to rare ligands and information encoding through stimulus whitening.

This study investigates how environmental olfactory exposures affect cell-type specific transcriptional responses in the mouse main olfactory epithelium using single-cell RNA sequencing.

The paper identifies taurine-conjugated bile acids (tauro-BAs) as novel vomeronasal ligands that activate rodent accessory olfactory system neurons and vary in feces across species and gut microbiomes.
