The oxytocinergic system modulates sadistic context-dependent empathy in humans.

Scientific reports - 29 Sept 2017

Luo Siyang, Zhu Yiyi, Xu Ying, Kong Qianting

Abstract excerpt

The oxytocinergic system is crucial for sociality and well-being and is associated with empathy. It is suggested that the oxytocinergic system exerts context- and person-dependent effects. We examined how sexual sadistic contexts influenced the effects of the oxytocinergic system on empathic-related behaviors and brain activity in healthy adults. Combining genetic neuroimaging, pharmacological techniques and a...
