New paper out in #ScientificReports on how humans perceive sex-specific #BodyOdours [i.e., #MSH and #HMHA]. It confirms the existence of #gender and #age differences in odour #perception, as well as a pre-existing bias associating #pleasantness with #femininity. However, the effects of the compounds themselves are very small, indicating a minimal role of MSH and/or HMHA in mate preferences.
A combined work with #CamilleFerdenziLemaitre, #GéraldineCoppin and #SylvainDelplanque :-)

Here is a #PrePrint I contributed to.
It focuses on the #perception of #gender in two sex-specific body #odor compounds #MSH and #HMHA
"The results do not allow to argue in favor of a function of MSH and/or HMHA in male-female attractiveness, but are in line with the known gender and age differences in odor perception."
