Accessory olfactory bulb mitral cell layer

Fig. 3 Vomeronasal system. Schematic representation of a rodent nasal cavity and brain (lateral view). Accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) mitral cells project to vomeronasal and extended amygdala. Inset The VNO is a bilateral tubular structure located at the base of the nasal septum. VSNs that express the same V1R or V2R converge on a small number of glomeruli in the AOB. Sensory neurons located in the apical layer of the epithelium project to the anterior part of the AOB, whereas those present in the basal layer project to the posterior part. MOE main olfactory epithelium, MOB main olfactory bulb, BSTMPM posteromedial bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, MEA medial amygdaloid nucleus, BACfF bed nucleus of the accessory olfactory tract, PMCO posteromedial cortical amygdaloid area...

Fig. 24. NE and 5-HT in the AOB. Darkfield photomicrographs through the accessory olfactory bulb showing similar dense labeling of noradrenergic (A) and serotonergic (B) fibers to mitral and granule cell layers of that structure while avoiding the glomerular layer.

Figure 2. Sagittal section through the accessory olfactory bulb of an opossum stained with antibody to Goa. AOB=accessory olfactory bulb, AGL-anterior glomerular layer, PGL=posterior glomerular layer, Nl nerve layer, M/T=mitral/tufted cell layer, FCx=frontal cortex.

EP = exposed group (n = 3). OB = olfactory bulb OP = olfactory peduncle ON = olfactory nerve G1 = glomerular layer Epl = external plexi-form layer. Mi = mitral cell layer Ipl = internal plexiform layer GrO = granule cell layer of olfactory bulb Md = medullary layer GrA = granule cell layer of accessory olfactory bulb AOB = accessory olfactory bulb AOE = anterior olfactory nucleus external part AOL = anterior olfactory nucleus, lateral part lo = lateral tract.
