[QUOTE="EscapeArtist, post: 534135, member: 18706"] Good thread. Just bumping it up there. I read that lack of oxytocin can contribute to sociopath...ism. Also that when oxytocin was blocked in rats' brains, they stopped caring for their children and stopped socially interacting. I'd like to see some more research on oxytocin. Also there are studies of the benefits of oxytocin to autistic people "Oxytocin treatments also resulted in an increased retention of affective speech in adults with autism.[25] Two related studies in adults, in 2003 and 2007, found that oxytocin decreased repetitive behaviors and improved interpretation of emotions. More recently, intranasal administration of oxytocin was found to increase emotion recognition in children as young as 12 who are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders" I don't know about intranasal adminstration, I hear that oxytocin can't penetrate the blood brain barrier. I'm guessing that the best way to improve oxytocin is to stay away from the things that use it all up. Drugs, sugar, caffeine, orgasms all spike it (and dopamine) up and then the levels stay lowered for up to a week. [/QUOTE]
