Why men melt by seeing women's tears opened scientists secrets
London, December 24 (IANS). It is often said that men are melting after seeing the tears of women. Now scientists have discovered that its secret is hidden in the smell of their tears. Researchers have found that the smell of women’s tears reduces brain activity in men, reducing aggressive behavior. The Fishman Study Institute of Science in Israel, which showed that human tears include a chemical signal that reduces the activity in two brain areas associated with aggression. In the study published in the Plos Biology magazine, researchers led by Shani Agron, a PhD student of the Brain Science Lab, worked from the Institute to determine if the tears had an aggression reinforcement effect among the people as rodents (rats etc.). In a series of experiments, men were given to smell one of women’s emotional tears and salt water without telling what they smelled. He then played a match of two-khiladis designed to generate hostile behavior in one player, depicted as fraud. After receiving the opportunity, the men could have damaged money to take revenge on the alleged fraudsters, although they did not have to achieve anything themselves. Researchers found that the revenge of men who were aggressive during the entire game fell by 44 percent or about half after they smelled the emotional tears of women. Researchers mention that this result is equal to the effect that is seen in rodents, but rodents have a structure in the nose called vamensal organ that captures social chemical signs. “These findings suggest that the tear is a chemical shield that provides protection against aggression – and this effect is also common for rodents and humans and probably other mammals,” said Professor Nome Sobel, Professor Nome Sobel. Agron said: “We knew that smelling tears reduced testosterone, and reduced testosterone had a greater impact on aggression in men than women, and so we began to study the effects of tears on men, because it was more likely to lead to us.” -Ians Ekde
