Body odors reflect internal states

Anxiety and fear convey additional chemosensory correlates. For example, the inhalation of the odorless scent of female tears of sorrow by 

Future studies should elucidate processes underlying the production and emission of the volatile message(s) (histological sources and chemical identity kinetics of odor discharge relationships between nature/intensity of stress and emitted odors effect of donor s sex) as well as processes of odor perception (automaticity and universality of responses effect of receiver s sex).
