In 1979, the Association for Chemoreception Sciences (AqhemS) was formed in the U.S.A. through the enthusiastic efforts of Maxwell Mozell. Its aim is to provide an opportunity for closer interaction among the chemosensory community. Simultaneously, this association was meant to offer expert assistance whenever public or private bodies require consultation on broad questions related to chemosensory sciences.

The higher vertebrates retained the basic Nervus termitialis, a VN-associated chemoreceptive neurai network (Fig. 2.9) with some cognate functions (Chap. 5 and Murphy, 1998). In mammals, an apparently unique and enigmatic OR cell cluster with a separable MOB input occurs. This minor structure (Fig. 2.10), the Septal Organ (of Masera), is possibly adaptive, has no peripheral connection to the VNO, and its capacity for central modulation of MOS and or AOS input is unknown (Naguro, 1984 Marshall, 1986). 

Several arguments favor a role for CSPs in chemoreception, either olfaction or taste. First, in M. brassicae, CSPs were clearly shown to bind pheromone components and a behavioral antagonist (Bohbot et al., 1998), although without specificity. Second, most identified CSPs are reported to be associated with...
