  1. 01HumanSystematic reviewMechanism

    Across 17 ERP studies in humans, intranasal oxytocin increased attention irrespective of stimulus characteristics in the perception stage.

    In plain wordsA review of 17 human brain-wave studies found that nasal oxytocin raised attention in the early perception stage, whatever the stimulus.

    The search criteria yielded 17 empirical studies.
  2. 02HumanSystematic reviewMechanism

    Across 17 ERP studies in humans, in the selection and evaluation stages oxytocin guided attention towards social over non-social stimuli and modulated prosociality and approach motivation.

    In plain wordsA review of 17 human brain-wave studies found that nasal oxytocin steered later attention towards social rather than non-social stimuli.

    Summary
    in the selection and evaluation stages, OT acts as a filter to guide attention selectively towards social over non-social stimuli and modulates prosociality/approach motivation associated with social stimuli.
