Pheromone reception: A complex map of activation in the brain.
Recent studies of the projection pattern made by sensory neurons involved in mammalian pheromone reception have shown that there is a map of activation in the brain, but this pheromone map appears far more complex than the equivalent map in the main olfactory system responsible for the sense of smell.
