“…In line with previous findings in CHR-P individuals, our primary aim was to assess the effects of oxytocin on levels of glutamate, and glutamate plus glutamine (Glx), in the left hippocampus, ACC and left thalamus (Bloemen et al, 2011;Shakory et al, 2018;Tibbo et al, 2004). In view of recent literature suggesting that N-acetylaspartate, myo-inositol and choline may be altered in populations at risk of psychosis (Bossong et al, 2018;Tandon et al, 2013), and that oxytocin's effects may involve several neurochemical pathways (Aoki et al, 2015;Benner et al, 2018;Ninan, 2011;Qi et al, 2012), our secondary aim was to examine the effects of oxytocin on these metabolite levels.…”
