TI  - Structure and chemical organization of the accessory olfactory bulb in the goat.
PG  - 301-10
AB  - The structure and chemical composition of the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) were 
      examined in male and female goats. Sections were subjected to either Nissl 
      staining, Kluver-Barrera staining, lectin histochemistry, or immunohistochemistry 
      for nitric oxide synthase (NOS), neuropeptide Y (NPY), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), 
      dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH), and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD). The goat 
      AOB was divided into four layers: the vomeronasal nerve layer (VNL), glomerular 
      layer (GL), mitral/tufted (M/T) cell layer (MTL), and granule cell layer (GRL). 
      Quantitative and morphometric analyses indicated that a single AOB contained 
      5,000-8,000 putative M/T cells with no sex differences, whereas the AOB was 
      slightly larger in males. Of the 21 lectins examined, 7 specifically bound to the 
      VNL and GL, and 1 bound not only to the VNL, but also to the MTL and GRL. In 
      either of these cases, no heterogeneity of lectin staining was observed in the 
      rostrocaudal direction. NOS-, TH-, DBH-, and GAD-immunoreactivity (ir) were 
      observed in the MTL and GRL, whereas NPY-ir was present only in the GRL. In the 
      GL, periglomerular cells with GAD-ir were found in abundance, and a subset of 
      periglomerular cells containing TH-ir was also found. Double-labeling 
      immunohistochemistry revealed that virtually all periglomerular cells containing 
      TH-ir were colocalized with GAD-ir.
