Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>fMRI: we expect changes in brain activation in region involved in emotion<br /><br>regulation during exposure to infant crying compared to control sounds. We also<br /><br>expect a change in activation in these regions when participants are presented<br /><br>with pictures of adults and infant with emotional face expressions, compared to<br /><br>a control task. In addition, we expect oxytocin effects on brain activation<br /><br>during these empathy tasks and during infant crying.</p><br>
