First seen May 04, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a nasal spray with oxytocin (the 'love hormone') can help people better control a specific brain region during a brain-scanning task. Healthy adults will receive either oxytocin or a placebo and then practice using their thoughts to change brain activity. The goal is to understand how oxytocin affects learning and brain control, not to treat any disease.
