Pheromone Research Forum (Read this first)

[oscar]

Folks,

This section of the board is reserved for references to research studies, papers, articles, patents, and other pertinent documents that relate to Pheromones.
If posting a reference here please post only that article or abstract and any links that pertain directly to it.

You may then copy and paste the reference to one of the discussion forums or request that a board moderator or admin do this for you.

A link will be inserted in the post on this forum to direct readers to the forum in which the discussion of the topic is taking place.

Please check carefully to see that what you're posting here has not already been included here.

The idea is to have a one-stop forum where all the relevent studies to date can appear. Replies to threads in this forum will be moved or deleted. Replies should be posted in the linked copy of the thread that appears in the appropriate discussion forum.

This is something of an experiment. Let's see how well we can make it work.

Thank You!

Oscar :)

It occurs to me that I didn't mention that if you have questions or comments on what is appropriate for inclusion in this section, or ways to improve the workings of this board, you can post them in this thread for the present.

Very nice :)

It would be usefull to have the link to the original article where possible.

CptK,

When they're not included in the initial post, I'll happily insert any links to the originally referenced item if they're given to me.

Oscar :)

I found the PubMed links for the two link-less posts so I could put them in the pherolibrary.

They are:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=14674833&dopt=Abstract - Physical proof that pheromones work at the system level of humans.

and

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=12195229&dopt=Abstract - Effects of putative male pheromones on female ratings of male attractiveness: influence of oral contraceptives and the menstrual cycle.

CptK,

Thanks for those links. I inserted them right at the top of the posts and intentionally left them in the "http" format so that the source would be clear at a glance.

Oscar :)

[CptKipling]

Not a problem Oscar :)

I think this forum is a very cool idea. I am thinking of implimenting something similar for the pherolibrary: Have each link lead to an abstract of the article with a link to a relevant forum thread, and then have a link to the full version.

This was a great idea, Oscar! I hope this becomes one of the most prominent sources of pheromone research on the internet. Let's all chip in to make it so! :)

I have links on the Scientific Evidence page of my website that include just about everything written in journals, or presented at conferences--when it pertains to pheromones, olfaction, hormone responses... Well, take a look and see! I continue to try to update the site at least every two to three months--more frequently when very important news becomes available. Today a report came out on the importance of learning in the response of ewes to male odor. Will post the link soon on my site. KEY ISSUE: Lavendar odor activated luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion only in ewes previously exposed to scented males.
