Impact of prosocial neuropeptides on human brain function.

Progress in brain research - 1 Jan 2008

Meyer-Lindenberg Andreas

Abstract excerpt

Oxytocin and vasopressin are key effectors of social behaviour (Insel, T. R. and Fernald, R. D. (2004). Annu. Rev. Neurosci., 27: 697-722). Oxytocin effects in humans were recently demonstrated by a behavioural study showing selectively increased trust after hormone administration (Kosfeld, M., e...
