    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 98:4154-9. 2001
    ..05). These findings implicate a sniffing impairment as a component of the olfactory impairment in PD and further depict sniffing as an important component of human olfaction...

    A K Anderson
    Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, 349 Mulford Hall, UC Berkeley, Berkeley, California 94720, USA
    Nat Neurosci 6:196-202. 2003
    ..These findings show that distinct olfactory regions subserve the analysis of the degree and quality of olfactory stimulation, suggesting that the affective representations of intensity and valence draw upon dissociable neural substrates...
  3. ncbi Sex-steroid derived compounds induce sex-specific effects on autonomic nervous system function in humans
    M Bensafi
    Department of Psychology and Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, University of California, Berkeley 94720, USA
    Behav Neurosci 117:1125-34. 2003
    ..The authors argue that AND's opposite effects on physiology in men and women further implicate this compound in chemical communication between humans...

    M Bensafi
    Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, University of California at Berkeley, 3210 Tolman Hall MC1650, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA
    Behav Brain Res 152:11-22. 2004
    ..These findings lend support to a specific role for these compounds in chemical communication between humans...

    J Neurophysiol 97:1969-76. 2007
    ..Importantly, this was found when perceived intensity was held equal across odorants. These findings suggest that dissociable neural substrates subserve the encoding of irritation and valence in olfaction...

    N Sobel
    Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA
    Neuron 31:512-4. 2001
    ..The specific regions activated combined with the pronounced sex difference depict a pheromonal-type brain response in humans. Here, we preview this finding and suggest that human pheromones exist...
