Background: The objective of this study was to determine whether intranasal oxytocin, alone or in combination with instructed mimicry of facial expressions, would augment neural activity in patients with FTD in brain regions associated with empathy, emotion processing and the simulation network, as indexed by blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) signal during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
