By continuing to determine detection thresholds for other odorant classes the use of the mouse as a model organism can be improved greatly. Also, by studying bourgeonal further new weapons to fight infertility might arise, helping couples that long for a child. It would be interesting to be able to investigate if the female egg secretes any substances similar to bourgeonal that might help the sperm cells to find their way.
