AB  - The rodent main and accessory olfactory systems (AOS) are considered functionally 
      and anatomically segregated information-processing pathways. Each system is 
      devoted to the detection of volatile odorants and pheromones, respectively. 
      However, a growing number of evidences supports a cooperative interaction between 
      them. For instance, at least four non-canonical receptor families (i.e., 
      different from olfactory and vomeronasal receptor families) have been recently 
      discovered. These atypical receptor families are expressed in the sensory organs 
      of the nasal cavity and furnish parallel processing-pathways that detect specific 
      stimuli and mediate specific behaviors as well. Aside from the receptor and 
      functional diversity of these sensory modalities, they converge into a poorly 
      understood bulbar area at the intersection of the main- main olfactory bulb (MOB) 
      and accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) that has been termed olfactory limbus (OL). 
      Given the intimate association the OL with specialized glomeruli (i.e., necklace 
      and modified glomeruli) receiving uncanonical sensory afferences and its 
      interactions with the MOB and AOB, the possibility that OL is a site of 
      non-olfactory and atypical vomeronasal sensory decoding is discussed.
