PG  - 183-6
AB  - The number of vomeronasal receptor cells and olfactory receptor cells were 
      determined in several turtles and tortoises. Using semi-aquatic turtles with 
      developed vomeronasal organs, neural responses to various odor stimuli were 
      recorded as extracellular unitary spike responses of vomeronasal receptor cells, 
      compound action potentials from vomeronasal nerve twigs, induced wave responses 
      on the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) surface and unitary responses of AOB 
      neurons. The vomeronasal system in turtles responded to various volatile and 
      non-volatile chemicals. These results yield insights concerning functions of the 
      vomeronasal organ in semi-aquatic turtles.
