Maternal behavior: activation of the central oxytocin receptor system in parturient rats?

abstract：:Using functional magnetic resonance imaging during word generation and spatial judgement (Landmark task), we investigated how hemispheric specializations for language and spatial processing interact in healthy individuals. We found individuals with atypical, right-hemispheric dominance for language to have more bilate...
