The paper investigates neural mechanisms of social camouflaging in autism using fMRI and finds hyperconnectivity between specific brain networks linked to mental health costs.

This study finds that autistic children show different gaze patterns and heightened arousal and brain reward responses to happy faces, which are linked to adaptive difficulties and symptom severity, contradicting the social motivation hypothesis.

This study investigates the anxiolytic effects of chronic intranasal oxytocin, finding that low-frequency dosing reduces neural threat reactivity in high-anxiety individuals.

This study links higher symptom-load of Internet Gaming Disorder according to APA and WHO frameworks with reduced striatal volume in healthy individuals.

This study investigates the effects of different oxytocin dosing schedules and receptor genotypes on neural biomarkers in humans, finding that infrequent dosing may be more effective and that responses are genotype-dependent.

This study shows oxytocin increases self-interest over altruism in competitive social interactions by enhancing activation in the medial orbitofrontal cortex.

This study shows that combining intranasal oxytocin with expectancy effects can enhance or impair working memory performance, suggesting a new therapeutic approach for cognitive impairments.
