A current lack of evidence does not allow for the establishment of firm conclusions regarding the mechanism of the effect of oxytocin on attentional bias; however, it is reasonable to suspect that oxytocin may exert a similar effect in normalising baseline attentional biases towards food (vigilance) in BN and BED if oxytocin modulates a common anxiety‐based mechanism accounting for baseline attentional biases in each disorder, albeit in opposite directions. Here, OXT is linked to Anxiety.
