The present paper summarizes functional imaging studies investigating the effects of
intranasal oxytocin (OT) on brain responses to social stimuli. We aim to integrate previous …

Background Evidence accumulates that the neuropeptide oxytocin plays an important role in
mediating social interaction among humans and that a dysfunction in oxytocin-modulated …

Accumulating evidence demonstrates the important role of oxytocin (OT) in the modulation of
social cognition and behavior. This has led many to suggest that the intranasal …

Background Animal and human studies highlight the role of oxytocin in social cognition and
behavior and the potential of intranasal oxytocin (IN-OT) to treat social impairment in …

The neuropeptide oxytocin plays a critical role in social cognition and behavior. A number of
studies using intranasal administration have demonstrated that oxytocin improves social …

Intranasal oxytocin exerts wide-ranging effects on socioemotional behavior and is proposed
as a potential therapeutic intervention in psychiatric disorders. However, following intranasal …

In recent years the neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) has become one of the most studied peptides
of the human neuroendocrine system. Research has shown widespread behavioural effects …

Over the last decade, oxytocin (OT) has received focus in numerous studies associating
intranasal administration of this peptide with various aspects of human social behavior …

The neuropeptide oxytocin plays a role in social cognition and affective processing. The
neural processes underlying these effects are not well understood. Modulation of …

The last decade has seen a large number of published findings supporting the hypothesis
that intranasally delivered oxytocin (OT) can enhance the processing of social stimuli and …
