    Default Smells and intelligent animals

    published last month:

    Gottfried, J. A. (2007). What can an orbitofrontal cortex-endowed animal do with

    smells? Ann N Y Acad Sci., 1121, 102-120.

    "Findings such as these indicate that the pairing of a sensory stimulus (the

    conditioned stimulus, or CS+) with an emotionally charged event (the unconditioned stimulus, or UCS) is sufficient

    to modulate neural representations of the original sensory input. In turn these learning-dependent changes in

    sensory coding may underlie subsequent modifications in sensory perception."

    As I indicated in my last

    published article/book chapter, what we see in the presence of pheromones can subsequently elicit the same response

    as the pheromones elicited--even when the pheromones are no longer part of the picture. It's difficult for people

    to realize that their response to what they see is conditioned by their sense of smell--especially when they don't

    "smell" the pheromones.

    Simply put, I could take the "right" pheromones and make someone respond to another

    person more positively, based on their conditioned response to the natural scent signature of other people they have

    encountered during the development of their sexual preferences.

    Interesting observations James, Deep stuff and a little over my head

    personally, but the info can unlock the doors to some of the mysterious behaviour i have encountered sometimes when

    wearing one of my traditional everyday pheromone day mixes.


    I wish my comprehension was as fast acting as

    my pheromone mixes related subject effects. ha ha then i would be good, Hmmmm maby not so good lol

    I AM. Out of my mind .... .... ....
