Circulating oxytocin levels decline with age, and researchers have shown that restoring oxytocin to youthful levels has beneficial effects in aged animal models. Oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus, and thus a range of different delivery mechanisms could work to replace this source. Here, researchers use an intranasal route for the introduction of replacement oxytocin, and show that it produces the expected benefits in aged mice.

While it is well-documented that plasma oxytocin (OXT) levels decline with age, the underlying mechanisms…
