| Abstract | The mammalian vomeronasal organ (VNO), a part of the accessory olfactory system, plays an essential role in the sensing of pheromonal signals. The VNO has emerged as an excellent model to investigate the functional role of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in intact neurons and intact physiological systems. TRPC2, a member of the (canonical) TRPC subfamily, is highly localized to the dendritic tip of vomeronasal sensory neurons. Phenotypic analysis of mice exhibiting a targeted deletion in the TRPC2 gene has established that TRPC2 occupies a fundamental role in the transduction machinery underlying the detection of pheromone signals by the VNO. TRPC2-deficient mice exhibit striking behavioral defects in the regulation of sexual and social behaviors. A previously unknown Ca2+-permeable, diacylglycerol (DAG)-activated cation channel found at the dendritic tip of vomeronasal neurons is severely defective in TRPC2 mutants, providing the first clear example for the existence of native DAG-gated cation channels in the mammalian nervous system. The experimental strategy employed in the mouse VNO now serves as a powerful model for examining the native functions of other TRP genes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
