Abstract: Abstract There is controversy surrounding the issue of whether there is menstrual synchrony in women who live together1,2,3,4, particularly in the case of the coupled-oscillator model developed5 to explain similar data from rats. Stern and McClintock6 have proposed that the rat model applies to women, with the effect being mediated by two opposing axillary ‘pheromones’ that could affect major reproductive events and have potential for “either contraception or treatment of infertility”.
