This study uses snRNA-seq to show that 17-estradiol treatment in aged rats reduces aging-related neuronal stress and alters HPG axis activity and energy metabolism.

This study investigates the effects of intranasal vasopressin on social attention and finds it increases bottom-up processing while reducing top-down control, similar to oxytocin but with greater impact on pro-saccade errors.

The paper identifies brain systems mediating domain-general and emotion-specific inhibitory control using fMRI in a large cohort, showing distinct roles for ventral striatum and orbitofrontal cortex.

This study finds reduced homotopic interhemispheric functional connectivity in children with ASD in specific brain networks, suggesting its potential as an early biomarker.

This study identifies distinct intrinsic connectivity patterns in MDD and GAD using resting-state fMRI, highlighting disorder-specific neural markers.

This study shows that oxytocin increases bottom-up attention to social stimuli but not non-social ones, reducing top-down attention inhibition, and this effect is modulated by trait behavioral inhibition and state anxiety.

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

This study investigates how alexithymia and autism traits independently and interactively influence interoceptive dysregulations in pain empathy using a dimensional neuroimaging approach in healthy subjects.
