Duration: 14 mins
Description
Dr. Matthijs Moerkerke discusses his JCPP paper ‘Can repeated intranasal oxytocin administration affect reduced neural sensitivity towards expressive faces in autism? A randomized controlled trial’.
Learning Objectives
1. Why oxytocin is of interest in the investigation of autism.
2. The differential effect of acute versus repeated oxytocin administration.
3. The pros and cons of repeated oxytocin administration dampening neural sensitivity towards expressive faces in children with autism.
4. Implications of the findings for mental health professionals and policymakers.
