Vasopressin and oxytocin receptor systems in the brain: Sex differences and sex-specific regulation of social behavior.

TL;DR: This review discusses the evidence showing the presence or absence of sex differences in VP and OT receptors in rodents and humans, as well as showing new data of sexually dimorphic V1a receptor binding in the rat brain.

Autism, oxytocin and interoception.

TL;DR: A model for impaired interoception giving rise to the autistic phenotype is proposed and how this analysis could suggest therapeutic strategies is described.

Oxytocin enhances brain function in children with autism

TL;DR: It is found that intranasal administration of oxytocin enhances activity in the brain for socially meaningful stimuli and attenuates its response to nonsocially meaningful stimuli in children with autism spectrum disorder as measured via functional MRI.

Oxytocin Enhances Social Recognition by Modulating Cortical Control of Early Olfactory Processing

TL;DR: It is observed that optogenetically induced oxytocin release enhanced olfactory exploration and same-sex recognition of adult rats and generates states for optimized information extraction in an early cortical top-down network that is required for social interactions with potential implications for sensory processing deficits in autism spectrum disorders.

The ''Reading the Mind in the Eyes'' Test Revised Version: A Study with Normal Adults, and Adults with Asperger Syndrome or High-functioning Autism

TL;DR: The Revised Eyes Test has improved power to detect subtle individual differences in social sensitivity and was inversely correlated with the Autism Spectrum Quotient (the AQ), a measure of autistic traits in adults of normal intelligence.

Oxytocin increases trust in humans

TL;DR: It is shown that intranasal administration of oxytocin, a neuropeptide that plays a key role in social attachment and affiliation in non-human mammals, causes a substantial increase in trust among humans, thereby greatly increasing the benefits from social interactions.
