The absence of a mammalian neuroendocrine model for sexual attraction that is primarily based on visual input suggests that olfactory input conditions visual aspects of human sexual attraction. Here is information about other recent AChemS conference presentations that continue to fully support Kohl's conceptualization of how human pheromones drive the development of human sexuality. Application of male axillary extracts affects mood and LH pulsatility, which can be used as an assay to isolate the active components of axillary extracts. Women showed clear physiological responses to both compounds only in the presence of a man. These data suggest that these steroids interact with social or biological context when producing both psychological and physiological effects.
People are able to use odor cues to distinguish the emotional state of others.
