Non-exclusive exclusion (Commentary on Capello et al.)

Somewhat unexpectedly, the family of 1200+ ORs (Zhang & Firestein, 2002) found in the main olfactory epithelium exhibit little homology to those found in the vomeronasa...

What is new is the notion that under certain conditions MAOA might be able to explain the link between these conditions and antisocial behavior in adulthood (3).
