Tóm tắt

Abstract In most mammals, conspecific chemical com­munication strategies control complex social and sexual behavior. Just a few years ago, our concept of how the olfactory system is orga­nized to ensure faithful transmission of so­cial information built on the rather simplis­tic assumption that two fundamentally dif­ferent classes of stimuli - ‘general’ odors ver­sus ‘pheromones’ - are exclusively detected by either of two sensory structures: the main olfactory epithelium or the vomeronasal or­gan. A number of exciting recent findings, however, revealed a much more complex and functionally diverse organizational struc­ture of the sense of smell. At least four ana­tomically segregated olfactory subsystems, some remarkably heterogeneous in their cel­lular composition, detect distinct, but partial­ly overlapping populations of sensory stimuli. Discerning how subsystem-specific receptor architectures and signaling pathways orches­trate the coding logic of social chemosignals, will ultimately shed new light on the neuro­physiological basis of social behavior.
