“…Rather, human and animal research suggests that the maternal odor is learned repeatedly, beginning in utero and throughout early life, presumably to support learning of the amniotic fluid odors and the mother’s diet-dependent odor (Al Aïn, Belin, Schaal, & Patris, 2013; Blass, 1990; Brake, 1981; Cheslock, Varlinskaya, Petrov, & Spear, 2000; Fillion & Blass, 1986; Hofer et al, 1976; Johanson & Teicher, 1980; Mainardi, Marsan, & Pasquali, 1965; Pedersen & Blass, 1982; Raineki et al, 2010, 2010; Ronca & Alberts, 1994; Sullivan & Leon, 1986; Sullivan, Perry, Sloan, Kleinhaus, & Burtchen, 2011; Sullivan et al, 1990; Teicher & Blass, 1977). The infant is also able to quickly learn new olfactory signature of the mother, which acquires the power of eliciting/controlling the baby–mother interactions (Marlier et al, 1998; Schleidt & Genzel, 1990; Sullivan et al, 1991; Sullivan & Toubas, 1998).…”
