Data collection | Data was collected between August 2013 and October 2014. Adults aged 18-31 and 63-81 years were prescreened for study eligibility via phone, during which demographic and cognitive data was collected. Eligible participants then came to the University of Florida (UF) for an in-person screening session during which cognitive data was collected along with blood and saliva samples. Participants returned for an in-person full session during which they self-administered the intranasal spray (OT or PL; randomized, double-blind procedure) and underwent MRI scanning (i.e., T1-weighted structural scan; resting state fMRI scan). Neuroimaging data were collected using a 3T Philips Achieva MRI Scanner. |
Data source location | Participants were recruited around the Gainesville area in Florida, USA (GPS coordinates: 29.6446° N, 82.3535° W) and attended study sessions at UF. |
