The vomeronasal organ and the olfactory bulb of the rat were cocultured from 15-day embryo siblings on collagen-coated membrane in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing fetal calf serum, horse serum, and antibiotics. At 4 days in vitro (DIV), vomeronasal axons forming two to three large fascicles were seen originating from the explants of the vomeronasal organ. Differential axonal growth was observed. Some fascicles made connections with the explants of the olfactory bulb. Twenty percent of the cocultures studied here showed the formation of connections. At 6-10 DIV many fascicles that did not connect with the olfactory bulb had degenerated, and large fascicles that were connected with the olfactory bulb survived for more than 10 DIV. The formation of connections between the vomeronasal organ and the olfactory bulb in coculture favors the survival of large nerve fascicles, but it could not be determined whether or not the presence of the olfactory bulb affects the initial orientation of the fibers and fascicles from the explants of the vomeronasal organ.
