Hexadecanal (Palmitaldehyde) is a volatile long-chain aliphatic aldehyde. It is naturally emitted from human feces, skin, and breath. Research suggests that it may modulate functional connectivity between brain substrates involved in social appraisal and aggressive execution. Hexadecanal is also confirmed to be highly deterrent to the ant *Lasius niger*, making it a promising subject for research on startle responses and aggression.
