This document summarizes research on the effects of oxytocin. Oxytocin is a hormone and neurotransmitter that influences social behaviors like trust, empathy, and pair bonding. Studies discussed found that oxytocin increases generosity between strangers, social recognition, and reduces fear. Oxytocin receptor genes have been linked to moral decision making. Research on prairie voles showed they form pair bonds due to oxytocin responses, unlike closely related montane voles. The document reviews various studies that demonstrate oxytocin's role in prosocial behaviors.

Autism challenges the individual, their family, the community and the practitioner. The complexity and variety of symptoms that define Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) require service providers to constantly update their knowledge and skills to best serve these individuals. Sensorimotor synchronization training with Interactive Metronome (IM), as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, has the potential to directly and positively influence the person’s ability to learn and engage with the world around him. This course will introduce practitioners to new advances in our understanding of ASD, including the pivotal role of timing & rhythm for speech, language, pragmatic, cognitive, motor and sensory processing skills. Participants will learn strategies to evaluate the unique strengths and needs of each individual with ASD as well as how to develop and implement effective IM training with consideration for communication, sensory, motor & behavioral challenges. The expert presenter will incorporate several videos and real examples to illustrate techniques.

)Introversion and Extraversion Personality Traits and Marital Bliss
Emotional responses tell us how an individual is processing her environment, and if it contains negative stimuli, emotions reflect such negativity in behavior. Tamir, Robinson, and Clore (2002) carried out four experiments in this study and investigated reaction time (RT), to positive and negative adjectives. In the first study, 102 participants responded to a RT task and then completed Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) developed by Watson, Clark, and Tellegen, (1988) to determine their moods, followed by International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) scales (short form) by Goldberg (1997) to assess their extraversion. The RT task required each participant to respond to a block of words, the participants wanted (e.g., love, happiness etc), or not wanted (failure, pain, etc.,) or neutral (afternoon, definition, etc.,). Extraverts were faster than introverts on positive mood task, and introverts were faster with negative mood tasks. For both type of individuals, RT slowed down if they performed the opposite mood tasks. After the first experiment Tamir et al., (2002) carried out three other experiments manipulating mood conditions and found essentially the same results. This study proposes that traits of introversion and extraversion regulate mood and behavior to pleasant and non-pleasant stimulus material, and would be useful for my proposal, because it suggests that extraverted and introverted individuals may process pleasant and unpleasant affective stimulation from the spouse differently leading to marital bliss or nightmare.

My chosen research topic is the practices of the Islamic faith related to illness, suffering, death, dying, grief, mourning rituals, and burial or cremation. I chose this topic because Islam is the second largest religion in the world, and I am interested in how this religion deals with death and dying. This topic is significant because death is a universal experience and understanding how different cultures and religions deal with death can help us to understand the human experience. This research will be of interest to scholars and students of religion and culture. Finally, this research will be of interest to anyone who is interested in understanding the Islamic faith and its practices related to death and dying. Additionally, this research can help to inform the practices of healthcare providers who work with Muslim patients (Eyetsemitan, 2021).
Islam has a rich tradition of practices related to death and dying. Muslims believe that death is a natural part of life, and they have developed practices to help them cope with death. For example, when a Muslim is dying, they are typically surrounded by their family and friends, who recite prayers and verses from the Quran. After death, the body is washed and shrouded in a white cloth, and the funeral is held as soon as possible. Grief is a natural part of the mourning process, and Muslims often express their grief through prayer, reading the Quran, and spending time with family and friends. These practices are significant because they provide a way for Muslims to cope with death and dying. They also help to create a sense of community and support for those who are grieving. Additionally, these practices can help to inform the practices of healthcare providers who work with Muslim patients (Bahadur, 2020).
Another way the Islamic faith relates to death, dying, grief, mourning rituals, and burial or cremation is through the concept of martyrdom. Muslims believe that those who die while defending their faith or while performing good deeds are martyrs, and they are rewarded with a special place in paradise. This belief provides comfort to Muslims who are grieving the loss of a loved one, and it also helps to motivate Muslims to do good deeds. Finally, the concept of martyrdom can help to inform the practices of healthcare providers who work with Muslim patients (Bahadur, 2020).

Today we are going to speak about oxytocin. Which in many aspects is the facilitator of prosocial behavior
1: Henry dale was an English pharmacologist and physiologist studying neurotransmission. He discovered that when taking extracts from the pituitary and injecting it into the uterus causes contractions. Dale coined the term oxytocin from the Greek word “okytokine “ which means rapid birth.
2: Vincent du Vigneaud an american biochemist synthesized oxytocin from blood plasma. He described it as a peptide hormone composed of nine amino acids called a nono-peptide. With a sulfar bridge connecting the two cytosine molecules
Oxytocin is associted with:
Inducing contractions in labor
Causing lactation
Sexual reproduction and orgasm
For oxytocin there are two tracts:
Oxytocin is producted in the hypothalamus and travels to the posterior pituitary where it is stored until released. Oxytocin can be released into the periphery where it will affect physiological functioning
oxyotcin can also back track to the hypothalamus and be released into the brain : most notably the limbic system and the mid and hind brain regions.
It central nervous system oxytocin release which causes behavioral changes.
What most people do not know about oxytocin is that it is show to have an effect on these four areas of behavior and emotion.
1 social recognition
2 trust and generosity
3 empathy and morality
4 attachment and pair bonding
As you can see oxytocin is a very versitile neuro-peptide
What is social recognition and how can oxytocin affect it.
Oxytocin as noted before is a very versatile hormone
Social recongition is important to our every day lives.
As infants we used social recognition to build our first memories, to learn what is safe and what is not safe, to learn what is normal and what is abnormal
A few studies I would like share with you that have shed some light on how oxytocin is related to social recognition are the following:
Popik et al., (1992) using rats conducted an experiment by injecting oxytocin, vasopressin, and a synthetic neuropeptide into the septal area of the rat’s brain. Introducing them to a particular situation multiple times over a specific time interval tested the rat’s social recognition and memory.
Popik and colleagues found that
Popik and his colleagues concluded that the relationship between the amounts of time taken for the rat to be acclimated to the situation was positively correlated with the amount of oxytocin injected into the septal region of the brain
Oxytocin has been extensively studied with regards to the prosocial behaviors of trust and generosity
Zak study
Although this study did not directly link oxytocin to moral decision making it proved that there was a relatiopship between oxytocin and emotions. This led to another study by a colleague of montog
