Journal ArticleDOI

Oxytocin improves "mind-reading" in humans.

TL;DR: Oxytocin improves the ability to infer the mental state of others from social cues of the eye region, and might play a role in the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorder, which is characterized by severe social impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of intranasal oxytocin on emotional face processing in women.

TL;DR: Group analysis revealed that the blood-oxygen-level-dependent signal was enhanced in the left amygdala, the fusiform gyrus and the superior temporal gyrus in response to fearful faces and in the inferior frontal gyrus following OXT treatment, independent of fixation pattern to specific sections of the facial stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI

A robust, high-throughput assay to determine the phagocytic activity of clinical antibody samples

TL;DR: In this paper, a robust and high-throughput flow cytometric assay was proposed to define the phagocytic activity of antigen-specific antibodies from clinical samples. But the authors did not consider the role of specific Fcγ-receptor subtypes.

A robust, high-throughput assay to determine the phagocytic activity of clinical antibody samples

TL;DR: A robust and high-throughput flow cytometric assay to define the phagocytic activity of antigen-specific antibodies from clinical samples, employing a monocytic cell line that expresses numerous Fc receptors: including inhibitory and activating, and high and low affinity receptors--allowing complex phenotypes to be studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recognition of facial affect in Borderline Personality Disorder

TL;DR: Investigating whether BPD patients are more sensitive but less accurate in terms of basic emotion recognition, and show a bias towards perceiving anger and fear when evaluating ambiguous facial expressions found that they are accurate in perceiving facial emotions, and are probably more sensitive to familiar facial expressions.
