Oxytocin modulates local topography of human functional connectome in healthy men at rest

Martins et al. examine the effects of different routes of administration of oxytocin on functional connections in the brain of healthy males at rest. They observe local effects in key-hubs of brain’s oxytocin system (i.e. amygdala) as well as wider-spread effects. This demonstrates that oxytocin lik...
