“…Moreover, direct
manipulation of the OT system by focal infusion into the macaque brain alters social gaze, prosocial decisions (Chang et al, 2015) and behavioral synchrony (Jiang & Platt,
2018), and the release of serotonin in brain regions implicated in social processing (Lefevre, Richard, et al, 2017). OT receptors in the rhesus monkey brain are highly expressed in regions involved with
visual processing, including the nucleus basalis of Meynert, the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus, the superficial gray layer of the
superior colliculus, the trapezoid body, and the ventromedial hypothalamus (Freeman, Inoue, Smith,
Goodman, & Young, 2014).…”
