The nose has another sensory structure, called the vomeronasal organ, which is specialized for detecting pheromones.

The current view, however, is that both systems can detect odorants and pheromones.

Some neurons in the nose are specialized to detect pheromones.

In mammals it is mainly used to detect pheromones of marked territory, trails, and sexual state.

I can detect and identify pheromones at three parts per million.

This body part is mainly used to detect pheromones, chemicas that carry information between individuals of the same species.

The protein domain Ste50p has a role in detecting pheromones for mating.

So unless we had a working vomeronasal organ, we couldn't detect human pheromones, even if they did exist.

They have long comb-shaped antennas, probably utilized for detecting pheromones of females.

Researchers, he said, are trying to delineate the system that detects human pheromones and sends signals to the brain.
