In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Oxytocin spray and Placebo spray for Aging. Completed, enrolled 106 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will investigate the extent to which intranasal oxytocin affects changes in social decision making and evaluations of others. Oxytocin is a hormone that naturally occurs in the body and the brain and has been shown to be relevant for many behaviors, particularly in social situations. Research on the effects of oxytocin in aging is very scarce; therefore, the purpose of this research project is to determine the effects of oxytocin on socioemotional aging.
