Oxytocin modulates neurocomputational mechanisms underlying prosocial reinforcement learning
Humans often act in the best interests of others. However, how we learn which actions result
in good outcomes for other people and the neurochemical systems that support this …

[HTML][HTML] L-DOPA and oxytocin influence the neurocomputational mechanisms of self-benefitting and prosocial reinforcement learning
Humans learn through reinforcement, particularly when outcomes are unexpected. Recent
research suggests similar mechanisms drive how we learn to benefit other people, that is …

Oxytocinergic modulation of stress-associated amygdala-hippocampus pathways in humans is mediated by serotonergic mechanisms
Background The hypothalamic neuropeptide oxytocin (OXT) may exert anxiolytic and stress-
reducing actions via modulatory effects on amygdala circuits. Animal models and initial …
