In a magazine called
Scientific American
Mind (http://www.sciammind.com/article.cfm?&articleID=792DDD7C-E7F2-99DF-397429B8BB8ED7ED), a sister publication of Scientific American has in it's current edition an article on
"Cranial nerve 0". Unfortunately, you have to pay to read the article, but what it basically says is that this
particular nerve replaces the VNO. Nerve "0" begins at the nose and follows a path similar to the olfactory nerve,
except it terminates in the regions of the brain associated with sexual response rather than scent. Further, when
stimulated in a fish, it triggers the immediate release of sperm. Might be interesting to find a copy in a book
store or library. It's the March/April issue and the story begins on page 20.
