The Impact of Pheromones and Leptin on Puberty
42:15 - 55:32 (13:17)
This podcast discusses the impact of pheromones and leptin on puberty. The "Vandenberg effect" explains that the introduction of a novel male to a pre-pubertal female triggers her to undergo puberty almost immediately, while leptin injections can accelerate the onset of puberty.

The circuits in the brain that support interoception and exteroception are anchored in regions of the brain that are involved in attention, such as the frontal eye fields, and allowing for the intentional focus on internal or external stimuli through attentional spotlight manipulation.

Summary
Leptin, a hormone made by fat, can be injected into females who have not yet hit puberty to accelerate its onset. It signals to the brain that there is enough body fat to allow for metabolic processes and liberate more fat, and was the basis for the cheat day refeed idea when dieting hard.

A novel male showing up has a direct effect on a pre-puberty female in animal models, resulting in activating puberty almost immediately; while also leading to a tendency for a pregnant female to spontaneously miscarry in the absence of her sexual partner.
