大鼠鼻中隔嗅觉器官（SO）的嗅觉电图（EOG）记录首次证明了其广泛的化学敏感性，并清楚地确立了这种结构作为哺乳动物鼻内化学感应系统的功能组成部分。 SO 对至少一种常见测试气味剂（乙酸戊酯）的较低浓度的敏感性超过位于主要嗅觉神经上皮间隔部分的位点。因此，正如最初提出的那样，来自 SO 的信号可以具有警报功能并提供与气味刺激评估相关的信息。
Electroolfactogram (EOG) recordings from the rat septal olfactory organ (SO) provide the first demonstration of its broad-range chemosensitivity, and clearly establish this structure as a functioning component of the mammalian intranasal chemosensory system. SO sensitivity to lower concentrations of at least one common test odorant (pentyl acetate) exceeds that at sites located on the septal portion of the main olfactory neuroepithelium. Signals from the SO, as first proposed, thus could have an alerting function and provide information relebant to odor stimulus assessment.
