MOS not VNO+AOS processing of pheromones

Olfactory neurons expressing transient receptor potential channel M5 (TRPM5) are involved in sensing

semiochemicals. Weihong Lin, Robert Margolskee, Gerald Donnert, Stefan W. Hell, and Diego Restrepo PNAS. 2007;

hey there jvkohl! i've got

something i'd like to kick around with you, re: female hormonal cycles and response to specific pheromones at

different times in that cycle - but i can't seem to send you a pm....

Generally, -none is better

around ovulation, and A1 is especially good for PMS and times when soothing a woman's mood might be prudent.

These conclusions are supported by research.

My sense is that -rone is safe anytime, and generally helps support

female mood, but I am basing this particular statement on anecdotal reports from women in the forum, not published

research.

hmm..that's interesting Dr

SmellThis - altho it's tough for me to say, since on of the products that i use has lots of rone in it - but i'm

not fully sure what the full mix is. either way - it's tweaking me a little bit during luteal phase, and that's

what surprised me.

can we say this is a big leap

in phero research? :)

Now the effectiveness of various pheros can start to be tested based on MOS instea of VNO

reactions?
