RE: Is the Love of Your Life Right Under Your Nose? Maybe, if You're a Mouse
Thanks for the link. I'm not surprised. Even with mice, the mechanism for identifying MHC is not clear--one study shows that it likely comes not from self examination but from identification of MHC in the family unit--a kind of imprinting.
I do think, though, the jacket routine is a little peculiar. Those research scientists may have spent entirely too much time in the laboratory with small furry animals :)
