Love hormone may boost brain training, study suggests

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.
