Njengoba kwaziwa, ubunzima bokuhumusha nokuphendula isimo sobuso sabanye abantu yisici esijwayelekile ku Ukuphazamiseka kwe-Autism Spectrum (ASD).
Ngenxa yobuchwepheshe obusha, abacwaningi bathole ukuthi abantu abane-ASD bakhombisa ukushintsha kokusebenza kobuchopho lapho becubungula izithombe ezihlobene nobuso. Ucwaningo lwangaphambilini luphakamisa nokuthi i-hormone oxytocin iyabandakanyeka ekuxhumaneni nomphakathi, okwenzeka kuzo zombili izilwane nabantu. Eqinisweni, izifundo eziningana ezenziwa namavolontiya anempilo zinikeze ubufakazi be- imiphumela ezuzisayo ye-oxytocin ngokuya ngokuzethemba okwandisiwe, ukuqaphela okuthuthukile kwemizwelo kanye nokuthanda okwenzelwe umphakathi
Ngaphambi kokuqhubeka, ngikushiya nenkulumo enikezwe ku-TED enesihloko esithi "Ukuzethemba, isimilo ... ne-oxytocin":
Ngokuyisisekelo, Njalo lapho ugona umuntu (noma othile ekugona) amazinga akho e-oxytocin akhuphuka.
Yonke imisebenzi yesayensi edlule yaholela abacwaningi baseJalimane emcabangweni we ithonya le-oxytocin ku-Autism Spectrum Disorders.
UDkt Gregor Domes, wase-University of Freiburg kanye nombhali wokuqala wocwaningo, uchaze wathi: «Esifundweni samanje, sinesifiso sokukhombisa lokho umthamo owodwa we-oxytocin ungashintsha izimpendulo zobuchopho ezinkuthazweni zenhlalo kubantu abane-ASD ».
Lolu cwaningo lukhombise ukuthi i-oxytocin inomthelela ekusetshenzisweni komphakathi kwabantu abane-ASD, okusikisela ukuthi kungenzeka ukusiza ukuphatha umsebenzi wobuchopho oyisisekelo ongasebenzi kahle.
Ukwenza lolu cwaningo, kubizwe abantu abangu-14 abathintekile ngalesi sifo kanye namavolontiya wokulawula ayi-14. Bonke bekufanele benze imisebenzi ehlukene ehlobene nezithombe zobuso nezindlu ngenkathi bebhekwa nge-scanner yobuchopho. Lokhu kuhlolwa kwenziwa kabili, kanye ngemuva kokutholwa isifutho samakhala esine-oxytocin futhi, enye, ngemuva kokuthola isifutho samakhala esinokuqukethwe kwe-placebo. I-oda lezifutho lalingahleliwe futhi izivivinyo zenziwa ngeviki elilodwa ngokuhlukana.
Ukusetshenziswa kwamasethi amabili ahlukile emisebenzini, ngakolunye uhlangothi izithombe zobuso ngakolunye uhlangothi, izindlu, kwavumela abacwaningi ukuthi baqhathanise imiphumela ye-oxytocin nokuphathwa kwe-placebo futhi babavumela ukuba babandlulule phakathi imiphumela ehlobene nokugqugquzela umphakathi kanye nemiphumela yokucubungula ubuchopho ngokujwayelekile.
Imiphumela yalolu cwaningo iyasiza kakhulu. Idatha ikhombisa ukuthi i-oxytocin ikhulisa ngokukhethekile izimpendulo ze-amygdala ezinkuthazweni zenhlalo kubantu abane-Autism Spectrum Disorders. Ngokusho kochwepheshe, i-amygdala ihlotshaniswa nokucutshungulwa kwesimo esingokomzwelo nobuso. Lokhu okutholakele kusikisela ukuthi i-oxytocin ingakhuthaza ukukhuthazeka komphakathi, okungasiza kakhulu ekwakhiweni nasekuziphatheni kwamakhono ezenhlalo ku-ASD.
