The vomeronasal organ (VNO) specialises in detecting pheromones for the purpose of reproductive behaviours such as maternal aggression and sexual attraction5.

In general, these behaviour patterns are measured in terms of the prevalence or incidence of particular behaviours in specified populations (e.g., delivery of smoking cessation advice by general practitioners). Interventions are used to promote uptake and optimal use of effective clinical services, ...
Nevertheless, although the use of such social instruments can facilitate social relationships, it often has a negative effect on the development of social skills, since there is a risk of addiction or the development of compulsive behaviours (Van Den Eijnden et al., 2018). Finally, another key...
(H2). We also expected ED to be a predictor of the presence of self-harm and/or suicidal behaviours in both clinical groups (H3). Additionally, in the autistic group only, we expected to observe gender differences, with autistic women presenting with higher ED than autistic men (H4) [27...
