Human Pheromones: Epigenetic Effects on Hormones and Their Affects on Behavior
A detailed model exemplifies the effects of olfactory/pheromonal conditioning, which alters genetically predisposed, nutrient chemical-dependent, hormone-driven mammalian behavior and choices for pheromones that control reproduction via their effects on luteinizing hormone.
Nobel laureate challenges psychologists to clean up their act
social priming doesn’t begin with a visual stimulus or a hormone like oxytocin in mammals. It begins with gene activation by a sensory stimulus
Playing with breasts (e.g, with a new THEORY of why only heterosexual men love them)
It is no fun to be ignored, but that seems to be a common problem for those who challenge theories, whether or not those theories make sense in the context of biological facts.
Woefully ignorant politicians and popular science (2)
“Do these people really think its a protein in semen that acts on the female brain? If so, is there a model for that
Oxytocin for everything?
Suddenly, we then have the automagical affects of oxytocin on behavior with no need for social neuroscience.
Bee research, human sweet perception, human pheromones, and metabolic disorders
A diet-reponsive neurogenic niche links nutrient chemical intake to receptor-mediated brain development in mammals. Glucose regulates the hormone secreting nerve cells in this niche, which links it and other nutrient chemicals to levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and brain development.
