Hormone Dose May Increase People's Trust in Strangers
by noteworthy at 8:12 pm EDT, Jun 4, 2005

The study, which appears in today's issue of the journal Nature, is the first to show that a simple administration of a hormone in humans can consistently alter something as socially sensitive as trust.
