Love hormone may boost brain training, study suggests
NCT ID NCT07559656
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a nasal spray containing oxytocin (the 'love hormone') can help healthy adults better control a brain region called the anterior insula, which is involved in body awareness and emotions. Participants will use real-time brain scans (fMRI) to learn to regulate this area while receiving either oxytocin or a placebo. The goal is to understand how oxytocin affects brain training, not to treat any disease.
