Long term effects of chronic intranasal oxytocin on adult pair bonding behavior and brain glucose uptake in titi monkeys (Plecturocebus cupreus).
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
OXT-treated monkeys showed increased affiliative behaviors, particularly tail twining, compared to saline-treated monkeys.
Key Numbers
How They Did This
The study involved administering intranasal oxytocin or saline to titi monkeys for six months, followed by behavioral observations and PET scans one year later.
Why This Research Matters
Understanding the effects of oxytocin on social behavior could inform treatments for social deficits in humans. This research may have implications for neurodevelopmental disorders.
What This Study Doesn't Tell Us
The study was conducted on a small sample size and in a specific species, which may limit generalizability to humans.
