Abstract

Although the social role of oxytocin came to light due to sex-specific interactions such as mother-offspring bonding, current understanding of sex differences in the effects of oxytocin on human sociality is limited because of the predominance of all-male samples. With the increasing inclusion of females in intranasal oxytocin research, it is now possible to explore such patterns. Neuroimaging studies reveal relatively consistent sex-differential effects of oxytocin on the activation of brain regions associated with processing social stimuli - particularly the amygdala. Findings from behavioral research are varied but suggest that oxytocin more often facilitates social cognition and positive social interactions in males, with context-dependent effects in each sex. We discuss potential biological and psychological mechanisms underlying the reported sex differences, and conclude with considerations for future research and clinical applications of oxytocin.

催产素对人类社交性的性别特异性影响的神经影像学和行为学证据。
尽管催产素的社会作用因母子亲情等性别特异性互动而受到关注,但由于研究样本以男性为主,目前对催产素对人类社会性影响的性别差异的了解还很有限。随着越来越多的女性参与鼻内催产素研究,现在有可能探索这种模式。神经影像学研究显示,催产素对与处理社交刺激相关的大脑区域(尤其是杏仁核)的激活具有相对一致的性别差异效应。行为研究的结果各不相同,但都表明催产素更经常地促进男性的社会认知和积极的社会交往,并且对每种性别的影响都与环境有关。我们讨论了所报道的性别差异背后潜在的生物和心理机制,最后对催产素的未来研究和临床应用进行了总结。

期刊介绍: Essential reading for those working directly in the cognitive sciences or in related specialist areas, Trends in Cognitive Sciences provides an instant overview of current thinking for scientists, students and teachers who want to keep up with the latest developments in the cognitive sciences. The journal brings together research in psychology, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy, computer science and neuroscience. Trends in Cognitive Sciences provides a platform for the interaction of these disciplines and the evolution of cognitive science as an independent field of study.
