Uta Frith, who studies autism at University College London, said: “According to this study, oxytocin may make faces more interesting. Disappointingly, this effect is seen only in brain activity and not in behavior.” She said that, if we want oxytocin to become a useful treatment for autism, we need to show that is has an effect on behavior.

Oxytocin can increase interest in faces Oxytocin leads to more accurate recognition of faces Oxytocin affects behavior in response to faces Oxytocin can make people forget faces
