Brief Summary: The goal of this protocol broadly stated is to use targeted manipulations with intranasally administered oxytocin OT and arginine vasopressin AVP in conjunction with neurocognitive and neuroimaging paradigms to evaluate claims that OT and AVP inhibit and facilitate respectively the effective processing of aversive signals Moreover we wish to examine whether increased vasopressin levels will increase and increased oxytocin levels decrease the neural response in the amygdala and other limbic structures to aversive stimuli In addition we wish to assess whether OT and AVP administration will lead to the facilitation of conspecific recognition as appears to be the case for other mammalian species
Detailed Description: Objective

The goal of this protocol broadly stated is to use targeted manipulations with intranasally administered oxytocin OT and arginine vasopressin AVP in conjunction with neurocognitive and neuroimaging paradigms to evaluate claims that OT and AVP inhibit and facilitate respectively the effective processing of aversive signals

Study Population

A total of 216 healthy male and female adults between 20-40 years of age

Design

This protocol will involve a series of independent studies Each study will require one visit in addition to a screening visit involves a physical and psychiatric assessment The study visit itself will involve pharmacological challenge followed by neurocognitive or neuroimaging testing

Outcome Measures

Moreover we wish to examine whether increased vasopressin levels will increase and increased oxytocin levels decrease the neural response in the amygdala and other limbic structures to aversive stimuli In addition we wish to assess whether OT and AVP administration will lead to the facilitation of conspecific recognition as appears to be the case for other mammalian species
