Human Pheromone Link May Have Been Found: “In animals, researchers have documented the complex

neurological paths pheromones trace to stimulate parts of

the brain that are deeply rooted in instinct. Researchers

have long believed that humans also communicate through

pheromones, but until now had been unable to identify any

of the biological equipment needed to detect these potent

molecules.

Now, in experiments at Rockefeller and Yale Universities,

neurogeneticists have isolated a human gene, called V1RL1,

that they believe encodes for a pheromone receptor in the

mucous lining of the nose.” New York Times
