Peripheral oxytocin response after episodes of mother-infant interaction correlates with activation in the right ventral striatum (area shown in Figure 4b) in response to neutral own infant face cues (rS = 0.57, P = 0.002). Percent oxytocin change calculated from the first baseline measurement and a mean of the second and third samples, which were taken during episodes of mother-infant interaction.
