Background Current neuroimaging perspectives on a variety of mental disorders emphasize
dysfunction of the amygdala. The neuropeptide oxytocin (OXT), a key mediator in the …

The hypothalamic peptide oxytocin modulates a wide range of social and cognitive functions
in humans and nonhuman primates. As a result, much effort is currently being devoted to …

BackgroundThe neuropeptide oxytocin is proposed as a promising therapy for social
dysfunction by modulating amygdala-mediated social-emotional behavior. Although clinical …

It is unclear if and how exogenous oxytocin (OT) reaches the brain to improve social
behavior and cognition and what is the optimal dose for OT response. To better understand …

The hypothalamic neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) has received increasing attention for its role in
modulating social-emotional processes across species. Previous studies on using intranasal …

Accumulating evidence suggests that intranasal oxytocin (OXT; 24 IU) reduces amygdala
responses to fear-related stimuli in men, while exerting inverse effects in women. However …

Oxytocin (OXT) is a neuropeptide which has a critical role in human social behaviour and
cognition. Research investigating the role of OXT on functional brain changes in humans …

The neuropeptide oxytocin (OXT) plays an important role in complex socio-affective
behaviours such as affiliation, attachment, stress and anxiety. Previous studies have focused …

The hypothalamic peptide oxytocin (OT) is crucial in social adaptation and used to treat
emotional and social deficits. Here, we conducted a systematic, quantitative meta-analysis of …

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 …
