Press release here:
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-12/cp-hli121506.php
Key issue:
If we learn to associate odors during our experiences with them, do we also learn to associate pheromones with these
odor experiences?
Since putative human pheromones are likely to be processed in the same manner as other
chemical stimuli (odors)--and not as we have been led to believe--through a non-existent human VNO, this press
release suggests that we would associate pheromones with odor experience. Such associations also fit the mammalian
model of olfactory/pheromonal conditioning that I detail in a forthcoming review article/book
chapter.
Gottfried's group has proven to me to be a reliable source for information, and I recommend that
others examine his contributions to the knowledge base.
