SEXUAL DIMORPfflSM IN THE ACCESSORY OLFACTORY BULB AND VOMERONASAL ORGAN OF THE GRAY SHORT-TAILED OPOSSUM, MONODELPHIS DOMESTICA... 

This study was designed, therefore, to determine if there is sexual dimorphism in the volume of the AOB and VNO of the Brazilian gray short-tailed opossum. To accomplish this, we determined the volumes of the sensory epithelium of the VNO, and of the mitral/tufted layer as well as the anterior and posterior halves of the nerve fiber/glomemlar layer of the AOB.
