Scientists create a ‘light switch’ for the love hormone: How it could change how humans love and form bonds

Scientists have unveiled a revolutionary 'light switch' technique, enabling precise activation of the brain's love hormone, oxytocin. This breakthrough allows researchers to observe how individual neurons and brain circuits form emotions, bonding, and social behaviours in real-time. The method promises deeper understanding of the human brain and potential targeted treatments for mental health conditions.
