title: Axonal growth by newly-formed vomeronasal neurosensory cells in the normal adult mouse.
abstract: Vomeronasal neurosensory cells which are continuously formed in adult mice have been shown to possess axons running in the vomeronasal nerves, since they undergo a reaction of retrograde cell death after vomeronasal nerve transection. Retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase has been combined with [3H]thymidine labelling of dividing cells to show that the axons of the newly-formed neurosensory cells reach their appropriate target, the accessory olfactory bulb.
