Removal of vomeronasal chemoreceptors before sexual experience in male hamsters resulted in complete failure to mate in some animals but removal of these receptors after sexual experience had no effect. Animals were tested for mating behavior with intact behaviorally receptive females and also with anesthetized males scented with vaginal fluid. The two tests produced essentially the same result. Histological analysis of the lesions and radioimmunoassay of androgen levels showed no group differences, other than vomeronasal organ removal, that could account for the results. The behavioral data suggest that the vomeronasal system may be concerned with the production of preprogrammed behavior.
