Uta Frith, who studies autism at University College London, said: “According to this study, oxytocin may have the effect of making faces more interesting. Disappointingly, this effect is seen only in brain activity and not in behavior. Demonstrating an effect on behavior will be critical if nasal spray treatment is to be of any value.”
Why does Firth advocate for demonstrating behavioral effects of oxytocin?
To show that oxytocin can be an effective treatment for autism To show that oxytocin can become popular To show that oxytocin might change brain activity To show that oxytocin is safe and easy to use
