Grüneberg ganglion

The Grüneberg ganglion, also written as Grueneberg ganglion and Gruneberg ganglion, is an olfactory ganglion at the tip of the nose of rodents such as mice that is most probably involved in the detection of alarm pheromones. The ganglion has been first described by Hans Grüneberg in 1973.
