Women's Tears Found to Reduce Aggression in Men, Study Reveals

The groundbreaking research, conducted by the Weizmann Institute of Science, indicates that human tears contain a chemical signal that significantly reduces aggressive behavior in men.

New research indicates that sniffing women's tears reduces aggression in men by over 40%, according to a study conducted by the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.
The study involved men sniffing either women's emotional tears or saline before participating in a game designed to provoke aggressive behavior. The men's aggressive behavior dropped significantly after sniffing the tears.
Brain scans during the experiment showed reduced activity in regions related to aggression while the men were sniffing tears.
Four out of 62 olfactory receptors showed a reaction to the tears, indicating that certain receptors in the human nose are capable of detecting signals from tears, even though the tears themselves do not have a noticeable smell.
Future research could include testing the full range of olfactory receptors, exploring the effect of tears on women, and finding ways to overcome the limitations posed by the MRI environment.
