Hec,
I *love* your picture.

What was the response invoked in your graph? Was it electrical, behavioral,

physical?

As per Ice's observations, the response is in fact electrical. Basically, the protocol consists

of an in vitro testing environment, wherein a VNO organ is bathed in nutrients and the nerve connections are

affixed to an electrogram, which measures the strength of the electrical impulse from the VNO, while exposed to the

vapors of various different pheromones.

The bar graph shown there is from the Erox studies (they invented

androstadienone and estratetraenol). I do have some molecular concepts which follow the train of thought executed

with androstAnone (which proved to be true). I think a derivative of androstadienone exists which will demonstrate

much stronger responses than androstadienone. I have the resources at my local college campus to recreate the

original erox studies and measure the response from my theoretical pheromones, and compare them to the known

responses for androstadienone.

I was thinking even of maybe trying to start up a private research fund, to help

facilitate this research. Thoughts, comments on this??
