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 likely affects human behaviour by modulating multiple levels of brain processing across different systems.
