Abstract
Oxytocin has shown therapeutic potential for the social cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. Despite sex differences in these deficits and the effects of oxytocin, most studies performed have been on men. We investigated the effects of oxytocin on social cognition in women with and without schizophrenia and found no effect.
