A role for autonomic cardiac control in the effects of oxytocin on social behavior and psychiatric illness
TL;DR: It is suggested that autonomic cardiac control may moderate the relationship between OT and social behavior and that heart rate variability (HRV)—an index of autonomic heart control—may play a key role in patient response in treatment trials of OT.
