Interacting with others is crucial for human fitness. In the past decade, there has been a growing interest for oxytocin (OXT) and its implication in social behavior. In the first section of this work we show that peripheral and central concentrations of OXT are correlated. Peripheral and central OXT are also correlated with subjects’ extraversion and with the volume of amygdala and hippocampus, two brain regions important for the regulation of social behavior. Interestingly, we show that OXT intake increases the subjective perception of subjects’ sociability. These findings suggest that OXT can be considered a biomarker of social behavior, thus opening the possibility of using this hormone in the screening process of psychiatric disorder l...
