“…However, there is, thus far, inconsistency in findings, variability in the methods and in the outcomes and response biomarkers measured ( Winterton et al, 2021 ), with insufficient metanalytical evidence of improvement in clinical populations ( Huang et al, 2021 ; Sabe et al, 2021 ). Intranasal OT (IN-OT) is, by far, the most frequent route of OT administration in human neuroscience studies, and we have recently summarized these studies ( Zelenina et al, 2022 ). Overall, IN-OT’s temporal profile (i.e., across a typical neuroscience experimental session time) at rest has been characterized by OT measurement in peripheral fluids (i.e., blood plasma, saliva and urine) and central nervous system OT measurements (i.e., in cerebral spinal fluid) or activity (via blood oxygen level-dependent activation using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and, by us, microstates using electroencephalography (EEG) ( Zelenina et al, 2022 ).…”
