Moral Elevation and the Brain

Among all of the chemicals human body produces, oxytocin is distinctly positioned to drive prosocial states and may very well ease suffering. The study aspires to undertake foundational research on neurochemistry of love. When completed, this paired look into oxytocin and pain will determine how increases in oxytocin can trigger a parallel reduction in the experience of pain. The findings of the research would have benefits in terms of enhancing quality of life materially and psychologically while at same time reducing malaise, akin to experiences of spiritual uplift.
