This study investigates how oxytocin modulates effective and dynamic connectivity in brain networks related to social-emotional behavior using resting-state fMRI data from 200 healthy subjects.

This study investigates how alexithymia and autism traits independently and interactively influence interoceptive dysregulations in pain empathy using a dimensional neuroimaging approach in healthy subjects.

This study shows that combining intranasal oxytocin with expectancy effects can enhance or impair working memory performance, suggesting a new therapeutic approach for cognitive impairments.

This study investigates how oxytocin modulates intrinsic functional dynamics between attention-related large-scale brain networks in humans.

This study shows oxytocin increases empathy and self-embarrassment ratings while reducing amygdala and insula activity and physiological arousal in response to embarrassment.

This study shows that oxytocin increases social reward in women but not men during sharing with friends, linked to reduced amygdala and insula activity and functional connectivity in women with higher attachment anxiety.

This study shows oxytocin enhances emotional empathy across cultures and sexes, reduces amygdala activity, and modulates amygdala connectivity with the insula, particularly in individuals with trait autism.
