AB  - The intrinsic organization of the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) in the snake was 
      studied using the rapid Golgi method. A distinct laminar organization was 
      observed in the snake AOB. Beginning with the most superficial surface, the 
      following layers were distinguished: the layer of the vomeronasal fibers, the 
      olfactory glomeruli, the mitral cells, the deep fiber plexus, the granule cells 
      and the ependymal cells. While the general organizational pattern of the snake 
      AOB resembles that of the main olfactory bulb (MOB) and the AOB reported in 
      various vertebrate species, the present study shows that: (1) the external and 
      internal plexiform layers cannot be identified as independent layers and are 
      considered to be included in the mitral cell layer; (2) the afferent and efferent 
      paths, which are disseminated in the granule cell layer in the mammalian MOB, 
      accumulate external to the granule cell layer to form the layer of the deep fiber 
      plexus: and (3) as a result of accumulation of the afferent and efferent paths in 
      the layer of the deep fiber plexus, the granule cell layer is very fiber-sparse. 
      These structural patterns are quite similar to those of the snake MOB.
