Communication of the lymbic system and the vomeronasal organ in human behavioral responses.

Abstract

Throughout his life, man feels the manifestation of various emotions and instincts: happiness, fear, anger, sadness, disappointment or inspiration. All these are the chemical reactions that the limbic system manages. It consists of four basic structures: the hypothalamus, tonsils, thalamus and hippocampus. The hypothalamus is an important systemic structure, because it is responsible for feeling hunger, thirst, satisfying sexual behavior, manifestation of anger and a sense of pain. But there is a direct anatomical structure that interconnects the sexual behavior of a person guided by the limbic system, with pheromones captured by the vomeronasal organ (VNO) and transmitted over the neuron fibers of the zero pair of cranial nerves of the brain. Thus, the structures of the limbic system and the VNO provide human adaptation to the surrounding conditions and norms of social behavior.
