Abstract

Galanin (GAL)-immunohistochemical techniques were applied to the mouse vomeronasal organ. GAL-immunoreactive fibers were seen in the receptor-free epithelial region, but no fibers were found in the neuroepithelial region. Many GAL-immunoreactive fibers were distributed around the cavernous blood vessels and the vomeronasal glands, and these fibers had a large number of varicosities and branches. GAL-immunoreactive fibers were also distributed in both the olfactory epithelial area and the respiratory epithelial area. GALimmunoreactive cell bodies were seen in the trigeminal ganglion, in the sphenopalatine ganglion, and in the superior cervical ganglion
