Objectives

Narrative objectives1

1) To confirm efficacy of intranasal oxytocin on a core symptom of autism spectrum disorders, deficit in social reciprocity, in parallel group comparison
2) To test time-course change in the efficacy for consideration of optimized treatment duration
3) To develop molecular bio-markers for prediction of treatment outcomes and uncovering the mechanisms of therapeutic effect
