Summary
The investigators will use multiple methods (including Oxytocin intranasal inhalation,
neuroimaging, behavioral measures, peripheral hormone measurements) to examine how
individuals' behavior, cognition, and brain function is impacted by the neuro-hormone
Oxytocin. Specifically, the investigators plan to evaluate the influence of Oxytocin
administration on affective processing in non-trauma exposed and trauma-exposed adults (both
with and without posttraumatic stress disorder, PTSD).
