Oxytocin promotes altruistic punishment
The role of neuromodulators in the enforcement of cooperation is still not well understood. Here, we provide evidence that intranasal applied oxytocin, an important hormone for modulating social behavior, enhances the inclination to sanction free-riders in a social dilemma situation. Contrary to the notion of oxytocin being a pro-social hormone, we found that participants treated with oxytocin ...

How do networks of neurons remain both stable and sensitive to new inputs?
متن کاملThe ‘Goldilocks Zone’: Getting the Measure of Manual Asymmetries
Some studies have shown that manual asymmetries decrease in older age. These results have often been explained with reference to models of reduced hemispheric specialisation. An alternative explanation, however, is that hand differences are subtle, and capturing them requires tasks that yield optimal performance with both hands. Whereas the hemispheric specialisation account implies that reduce...
متن کاملApplying behavioural science to government policy: Finding the ‘Goldilocks Zone’
Using behavioural and social science to inform government policy has the potential to benefit society – provided good scientific practice is adopted. We argue that there are threats to scientific practice in the current Behavioural Insights environment that potentially undermine the validity and usefulness of such work. We discuss what constitutes good science and why this is important, and exa...
متن کاملThe Effect of Oxytocin on Third-Party Altruistic Decisions in Unfair Situations: An fMRI Study
Humans display an intriguing propensity to help the victim of social norm violations or punish the violators which require theory-of-mind (ToM)/mentalizing abilities. The hypothalamic peptide oxytocin (OXT) has been implicated in modulating various pro-social behaviors/perception including trust, cooperation, and empathy. However, it is still elusive whether OXT also influences neural responses...
