Represents the odds that the outcome will occur given in a particular
exposure compared to the odds of the outcome occurring in the absence
of that particular exposure.
Example: What are the odds that a group of woman will get mastitis if they
have cracks in their nipples versus the odds of a group of women
developing mastitis who have no nipple cracks.

Stimulates dopamine releases and thus inhibits prolactin. Nipple stimulation
and milk removal suppresses PIF and dopamine, causing prolactin levels to
rise and the breast to produce milk. From the hypothalamus.
