Het referaat bestaat uit twee lezingen. Het referaat start met een inleiding en eindigt met een discussie.

Deel 1

The first part of the lecture will focus on the biological correlates of antisocial behavior. We will discuss how neuroendocrine, neurobiological, and genetic factors are involved in the development of antisocial behavior and where the field stands now. A particular focus will be on the role of oxytocin, a biological agent that has received attention recently in relation to antisocial behavior.

Deel 2

The second part of the lecture will focus on specific evidence on the role of oxytocin in antisocial behavior in youth. Iro Fragkaki will present her work involving observational, longitudinal, and experimental studies in community and clinical samples. We will discuss whether oxytocin is related to specific forms of antisocial behavior and whether oxytocin administration can be used as a novel approach to improve social-affective behaviors in antisocial youth.
