Intranasal oxytocin modulates neural functional connectivity during human social interaction

Oxytocin (OT) modulates social behavior in primates and many other vertebrate species. Studies in non‐primate animals have demonstrated that, in addition to influencing activity within individual brain areas, OT influences functional connectivity across networks of areas involved in social behavior. Previously, we used fMRI to image brain function in human subjects during a dyadic social interaction task following administration of either...
