The vomeronasal organ is the organ of pheromone detection. Detection leads to behavioural and endocrinological changes[1]. The human vomeronasal organ is a rudimentary structure and its function is still being actively debated, it is perhaps thought to have only a minor role in chemical communication between humans[2]. The vomeronasal organ plays a much larger role in other animals such as amphibia, reptiles and nonprimate mammalsCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many
