In today's episode I dive down the science rabbit hole of how humans can communicate with one another via our body odor and sense of smell. For decades we thought that humans communicated via our sense of vision and sound, because through evolution of visual cortex became more developed and our olfactory system regressed. However, recent data suggests that humans can emit certain molecules while feeling certain emotions and this can indeed impact those smelling the compounds, specifically impacting their mood, behavior, physiological and brain responses. Tune in for more details!
