The term vomeronasal nerve (vmn) refers to one of two bundles of axonal fibers of accessory olfactory sensory neurons (OSNa) that connect the OSNa's with the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) in the rat ( Swanson-1998 ) and the mouse ( Hof-2000 ). It is not functionally significant in the human or macaque [See olfactory system (OSY)]. The vmn and the terminal nerve (trm) form the vomeronasal-terminal nerve complex (vtnc).. Both are distinct from the olfactory nerve (1n), which is the primary conductor of oderant information in the OSY of rodents and primates. Final 17 Jan 2025..
