Infusing OT into the value-mirroring sites in BLA promotes prosocial decisions. (Upper) Projected injection sites for OT (red) and saline (gray) (jittered for visibility). (A) The time courses of social preference index (mean ± SEM) in 5-min bins following the local infusion of OT (red) or saline (gray) into BLA (Left) or dlPFC (Right). The solid and dashed lines show Other:Neither context and Self:Both context, respectively. The shaded region shows the 30-min window. (B) The time courses of social gaze (proportions per session in mean ± SEM) following the infusion of OT or saline into BLA or dlPFC. Same format as in A. (C) Proportion of social gaze as a function of high vs. low prosocial sessions (median split on the preference indices) for BLA OT, BLA saline, dlPFC OT, and dlPFC saline injection. Asterisk indicates a significant modulatory relationship among BLA OT injection, high vs. low prosocial preferences, and corresponding social gaze proportions. (D) Decision RTs (mean of the session medians ± SEM) following OT or saline into BLA or dlPFC. Also shown are the individual RT means with SEM across individual decision types.
