Heh, I actually read a thing about the opposite being true. Oxytocin isn't a neurotransmitter first of all, it's a mere mamillian hormone.
Second of all, the only personality profile not made more generous in their nature by this anti-oxidant was, guess what? The psychopath/sociopath.
No amount of theorapy seems to have the slightest effect on the sociopath; and some psychopharmalogical theorapies make it even worse, such as the use of anti-depressants.
Oxytocin therapy being ineffective for psychopathy does not mean there is no link between its deficiency and pschopathy nor that it makes the psychopath worse. The link between oxytocin deficiency and psychopathy and Narcissism is based on studies done by Paul Zak (book Miracle Molecule; Psychology Today-Why Some People Are Evil, on-line). I don't know of any other studies on this. The link between psychopathy and abnormal extraversion (aka cholerics or undercontrollers) is very solidly based (on over 20 personality studies, eg., John, O., Srivastava, S. The Big 5 Trait Taxonomy: History, Measurement , and Theoretical Perspectives. In L. Pervin and O.P. John (Eds.), Handbook of Personality: Theory and Research (2nd ed.). New York: Guilford.).
Also, oxytocin is both a hormone and a neurotransmitter (see Oxytocin receptor genetic variation relates to empathy and stress reactivity in humans, by Sarina Rodrigues et al, pnas.org)
What else can I help you with?
Do psychopaths cry real tears for anyone?
Psychopaths may cry real tears for themselves, to manipulate others, or as a learned behavior, but they typically lack genuine empathy or emotional connection to others, so their tears may not reflect true empathy or genuine emotions.
The hypothalamus produces only two hormones with target organs outside the head ADH and oxytocin true or false?
False. The hypothalamus produces several hormones that regulate various functions in the body, including ADH (antidiuretic hormone) and oxytocin.
Is it true oxytocin release is an example of a positive feedback control mechanism?
Yes, oxytocin release is an example of a positive feedback control mechanism. In response to stimuli such as childbirth or breastfeeding, oxytocin is released, which leads to stronger contractions in the uterus or milk let-down reflex, further stimulating more oxytocin release. This cycle reinforces and amplifies the initial stimulus.

Can psychopaths show love?
Psychopaths are often very manipulative people, and are generally very skilled at lying. Psychopaths can absolutely fool people into thinking that they love them. However, since true psychopaths do not have any empathy, they are not capable of love in the traditional sense and any "love" that they show is simply manipulative behavior.
