Oxytocin has also been suggested to reduce anxiety‐related behaviour or neuroendocrine stress responses during non‐mating social interactions in humans,58, 59 chimpanzees60 and prairie voles.61 In human children, comfort interactions with their mothers have been shown to increase urinary oxytocin and reduce an increase in cortisol after psychological stress.33 In chimpanzees, post‐conflict affiliations have been shown to increase urinary oxytocin.60 These findings suggest that activation of oxytocin neurones by social support reduces stress responses. Here, OXT is linked to Anxiety.
