The Maternal X Chromosome Affects Cognition and Brain Ageing in Female Mice

The Impact of the Maternal X Chromosome on Cognition and Brain Aging in Female Mice Background Introduction In mammals, female cells possess two X chromosomes, one from the mother (maternal X chromosome, Xm) and one from the father (paternal X chromosome, Xp). During embryonic development, one of the X chromosomes is randomly inactivated, a process...

Impaired Pheromone Detection and Abnormal Sexual Behavior in Female Mice Deficient for AncV1R

Report on the Study of the Impact of ANCV1R Gene Deficiency on Pheromone Detection and Sexual Behavior in Mice Background Introduction In mammals, pheromones are crucial chemical signals that regulate social and sexual behaviors. Pheromone detection is mediated by the vomeronasal organ (VNO), which uses vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs) to recogni...
