| contents | Comunicación química en primates Ricardo Mondragón Ceballos Ana Lilia Cerda Molina Vicente Díaz Sánchez Medicina primates pheromones olfactory system Chemical comunication The mammalian olfactory system is specialized for the perceptionof chemical compounds that regulate a number of functions.The pheromone is the chemical compound most usedamong species, its effects being either physiological ofbehavioral, depending on the message transmitted and thecontext in which it is perceived.Chemical communication by pheromone in mammals isimportant for regulating reproductive processes and affectingsocial interactions within populations. Mammals most activepheromones are usually found in urine and vaginal secretions.These chemical compounds are perceived via the olfactoryepithelium and the vomeronasal organ, which have neuralconnections with different brain nuclei associated withreproductive regulation and emotions. Yet, it remainscontroversial whether pheromones are present in Old Worldanthropoids and humans. Altough in other primates, such asprosimians and New World monkeys, chemical communicationis acknowledged in territorial marking, conspecific recognitionand socio-sexual behavior. There is still disagreement if incatarrhines, pongids and humans, pheromones participate insexual attraction. First, because this primates have a smallolfactory region, both nasal and neural, when compared tothe rest of the mammals. And second, because to date thefunctionality of the vomeronasal organ, seemingly specializedin pheromone perception in mammals, is considered vestigialin catarrhine monkeys and apes. Some recent works provideevidence that in humans such organ is not vestigial, as it wasconsidered, being a specialized structure in the perception ofpheromones which are able to promote sex-dependentphysiological changes. 2000 artículo científico 0185-3325 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=58262304 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=582 Salud Mental application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría Ramón de la Fuente Muñiz Salud Mental (México) Num.6 Vol.23 |
