Here is a new (June
2004) article giving support for androstadienone being a real human pheromone. (\"http://www.cns.ki.se/en/research/balazs_gulyas/ balazs_gulyas/documents/Pheromone.pdf\") Says it increases brain
activity in areas that are used for social cognition rather than for smelling. Difficult reading though, I don\'t
understand most of it.
Also found this, from 2001
about using pheromones to wake people up during house fires. (\"http://www.usfa.fema.gov/pdf/efop/tr_01jl.pdf \") This one just seems wierd. I never thought FEMA
would be the government agency doing pheromone research. Also, this study uses PH-15 (don\'t know what it really
is) wakes people up, while Pherin Pharmaceuticals says indications are \"somnolence and decreased cognitive
performance\"
Pherin (run by David Berliner) has several vomeropherins being tested for purposes other than
getting chicks. They\'re also going through the FDA and doing tests like they\'re drugs. Looks
interesting.
Sorry if I bored you guys with this, I know I\'m more interested in reading hit stories than
science articles. But I just don\'t have many stories worth reading. Last week I put a dab of NPA on my forehead
before going to work. I have a stressful fast-food job, so I\'m usually pretty pissed off and irritable at work.
One of the girls told someone else I was \"scary\" and \"intimidating\". At least I know something not to do
now...... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
