  text: "Introduction: The olfactory system in most mammals is divided into several
    subsystems based on the anatomical locations of the neuroreceptor cells involved
    and the receptor families that are expressed. In addition to the main olfactory
    system and the vomeronasal system, a range of olfactory subsystems converge onto
    the transition zone located between the main olfactory bulb (MOB) and the accessory
    olfactory bulb (AOB), which has been termed the olfactory limbus (OL). The OL
    contains specialized glomeruli that receive noncanonical sensory afferences and
    which interact with the MOB and AOB. Little is known regarding the olfactory subsystems
    of mammals other than laboratory rodents.\r\nMethods: We have focused on characterizing
    the OL in the red fox by performing general and specific histological stainings
    on serial sections, using both single and double immunohistochemical and lectin-histochemical
    labeling techniques.\r\nResults: As a result, we have been able to determine that
    the OL of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) displays an uncommonly high degree of development
    and complexity.\r\nDiscussion: This makes this species a novel mammalian model,
    the study of which could improve our understanding of the noncanonical pathways
    involved in the processing of chemosensory cues."
