This page covers biological details of component Vomeronasal Organ. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Peripheral Nervous System -> Sensory Ganglia (PNS.SG) -> Sensory Exteroception Ganglia (PN.SG.SE) -> Vomeronasal Organ (LPC.PN.SG.VNO) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: sensory ganglion
• Quality: L0
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Peripheral Control Area (LPC)
• Area circuit: Smell Senses (SSS)
• Role: sensory.ganglion
• Function: Sensing non-volatile pheromones
