Can Fear Be Erased? 2014-12-04T05:00:00Z Often called the “love hormone,” oxytocin is also released during labor in order to relieve pain. 5 Things You Didn't Know Sex Could Do for Your Career 2014-11-06T05:00:00Z If oxytocin does end up being helpful in humans, however, it’s likely that it will only work for some forms of autism spectrum disorder. Treating young autistic mice with oxytocin improves their social behavior 2015-01-21T05:00:00Z So high levels of stress inhibit the release of oxytocin, and we become less focused on others and more on ourselves. The Molecule Behind the Golden Rule 2015-07-10T04:00:00Z When those watching the stories had an increase in oxytocin, they tended to help more — donating money to a charity associated with the story, for example. Storytelling Your Way to a Better Job or a Stronger Start-Up 2014-12-12T05:00:00Z Though results were based on observation rather than fMRI findings, a smaller study published last year by Acheson and colleagues reported that intranasal oxytocin facilitates fear extinction in humans.

'Love drug' key to sexual behaviour 2014-10-10T04:00:00Z Stress-related chemicals subside, and her body releases oxytocin, a potent hormone that promotes emotional bonding. What makes mothers kill their own children? She explained that oxytocin also helps regulate the body's core temperature -- which, in theory, could be one reason why the women in the study who lived with children tended to have fewer hot flashes. Kids: An Rx for Menopause's Hot Flashes? 2014-10-31T04:00:00Z A biochemical produced in the brain called oxytocin has entered popular culture in recent years as the “love,” “cuddle” or “bonding” hormone. Fact or Fiction?: Oxytocin Is the “Love Hormone” 2014-09-08T04:00:00Z And we found in all these situations that a majority of people would release oxytocin, and when they did that, they felt closer to the communities they were in. The Molecule Behind the Golden Rule 2015-07-10T04:00:00Z Such reports often refer to the neuropeptide oxytocin that is stimulated in the brain when we trust. Why Distrust is Extra Harmful to Business 2014-09-05T04:00:00Z And the more oxytocin they produce the more they become trustworthy. Trust Your Workforce to Work Remotely 2014-08-18T04:00:00Z But this study doesn't prove oxytocin deserves the credit. Kids: An Rx for Menopause's Hot Flashes? 2014-10-31T04:00:00Z A substantive body of research suggests that oxytocin—and a related molecule called vasopressin—promote various types of social behavior. Fact or Fiction?: Oxytocin Is the “Love Hormone” 2014-09-08T04:00:00Z So whatever that feeling comes from, it doesn’t seem to be an oxytocin effect; it’s driven by something else. The Molecule Behind the Golden Rule 2015-07-10T04:00:00Z The more oxytocin in our system the more we trust, the more we trust the more oxytocin in our system. Why Distrust is Extra Harmful to Business 2014-09-05T04:00:00Z Researchers aren’t sure what the connection is, but Mason suspects it has to do oxytocin, the “feel-good hormone” produced when a baby nurses. 10 Myths and Facts About Breastfeeding 2014-08-16T04:00:00Z Comparisons between siblings with and without autism revealed that oxytocin levels in the blood are more than 85 percent heritable, the study authors noted. 'Love Hormone' Oxytocin May Play Key Role in Kids' Social Skills 2014-08-04T04:00:00Z And trials are now under way to assess whether an oxytocin spray may help allay some of the social deficits of young children diagnosed with autism. Fact or Fiction?: Oxytocin Is the “Love Hormone” 2014-09-08T04:00:00Z I said, “Well, I think I can test this, and if I can test it, then I can actually determine for men and for women or for both if oxytocin really matters.” The Molecule Behind the Golden Rule 2015-07-10T04:00:00Z This means therefore that whilst high levels of oxytocin do indeed enable greater trust and empathy, it also strengthens the adverse effect of negative experiences. Why Distrust is Extra Harmful to Business 2014-09-05T04:00:00Z Blocking the enzyme that destroys cGNP also increases the amount of oxytocin in the brain. Common Prescription Drugs Alter Blood’s Flow 2014-08-02T04:00:00Z "We found that social functioning was similar between related siblings, and oxytocin levels were way more similar between siblings," Parker said.
