From: Oxytocin administration suppresses hypothalamic activation in response to visual food cues
Hypothalamic and parabrachial nuclei (PBN) response to oxytocin. A: (A) Examination of the contrast of high calorie versus low calorie foods within the hypothalamus across all datasets (N = 48). The statistical parametric map is overlaid on the SPM8 T1 template image and thresholded at p < 0.05 uncorrected for display purposes. After small volume correction, one voxel −8, −6, −8 survives at p = 0.0125. (B) Parameter estimates extracted from the hypothalamus ROIs showing a significant decrease in the parameter estimate in the oxytocin (OXT) condition compared to placebo (PBO). B: (A) Examination of the contrast of high calorie versus low calorie foods within the PBN across all datasets (N = 48). Image is thresholded at p < 0.05 uncorrected for display purposes. (B) Parameter estimates extracted from the PBN ROIs showing a trend towards decrease in the parameter estimate in the right PBN in the oxytocin condition (p = 0.0683).
