AB  - The ultrastructural organization of the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) was 
      studied in a squamate reptile, Podarcis hispanica. Five types of neuronal cell 
      bodies were differentiated by their size, location, and ultrastructure. Dark and 
      light small somata were observed in the glomerular layer and correlated with two 
      possible subpopulations of periglomerular cells. Mitral cells, the biggest 
      neurons in the AOB, were preferentially located in the mitral cell layer, but 
      also observed in plexiform layers, and they could be classified into two 
      different types mainly on the basis of the size of their somata. Finally, a fifth 
      neuronal population, the granule cells, were observed in the deepest layers of 
      the AOB. On the basis of their location and ultrastructure, five different types 
      of synaptic contacts were also observed in the AOB. Vomeronasal nerve terminals 
      made asymmetric synaptic contacts in the glomerular layer. Reciprocal synapses 
      between mitral cell dendrites and granule cell gemmules were identified 
      preferentially in the external plexiform layer, but also in the mitral cell and 
      internal plexiform layers. Terminals forming symmetric synapses on mitral cells 
      were also recognized in the external plexiform layer. In the deepest layers, two 
      types of terminals established asymmetric and symmetric synaptic contacts, 
      respectively, on granule cells. The basic organization of the AOB of lizards 
      appears rather similar to that of the mammalian olfactory bulb, but some notable 
      differences as to their neuronal composition were found.
