Our primary objective is to investigate whether oxytocin administration can affect empathy and emotion recognition in healthy and antisocial adolescents. We expect that oxytocin will enhance empathy and emotion recognition in both healthy and…
The primary objective is to assess neuropsychological function in X-ALD patients without active cerebral demyelinating disease. Data of minors will be compared to matched healthy controls. Data of adults will be compared to reference values. The…
The proposed study will further examine the effects of pregnancy on the human brain, by investigating structural and functional connectivity, local metabolite concentrations and neural activity related to social cognitive and memory processes.…
Investigating and comparing two disorders (i.e., OCD and GD) with phenomenological different types of compulsive behaviors central to their pathology can elucidate common mechanisms of compulsivity in psychiatry - core features- as well as specific…
The main objective is to investigate the preparatory process in left primary motor cortex in relation to hand choice during whole-body motion.
The project has three main scientific objectives: (1) To investigate how speech processing with CIs affects listeners* mental representations at lexical and sub-lexical levels, as well as the flow of information between these levels; (2) To study…
In a series of randomized control trials (RCTs) the following hypothesis will be tested: Intranasal administration of oxytocin and vasopressin affect neural and behavioral responses to infant signals and threat to the infant.* Oxytocin and…
The primary objective of the proposed study is to examine the neural substrate of cognitive and social-emotional apathy in patients with schizophrenia. Secondary, we intend to explore the concentration of brain metabolites and structural differences…
The effects of intravenous TRH administration on brown adipose tissue activity in healthy, lean men.
To investigate whether BAT tissue can be activated by intravenous administration of TRH. Secondary objectives are to determine whether intravenous TRH increases the degree of cardiovascular sympathetic stimulation and the response of skin…
We aim to investigate whether reinstatement of cortical representations are necessary for successful memory retrieval.
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that free field word recognition scores in quiet and noise with CI *ON* are significantly better than the best aided pre-implant scores in the ear to be implanted (contralateral ear plugged)…
With the proposed study we aim to gain insight into the effects of oxytocin (OT) on both parents* and grandparents* sensitive, empathic, and protective responses to their (grand)children, and in the neural origins of these responses.The primary…
1) To perform gene mutation analysis in family members of patients carrying a proven mutation in the candidate gene.2) To determine the clinical, biochemical and radiological characteristics of carriers of a mutation in the candidate gene.3) To…
In this study we would like to investigate the effects of denervation on the cortical representation of finger articulations. We will assess the decodability of six different hand gestures from the American Manual Alphabet in people with an…
The aim of this study is to validate known, and identify novel allelic variants which may play a role in the risk of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in a substantial international cohort of children diagnosed with cancer.
We aim to measure the vitamin D status (25(OH)D) and prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Western and non-Western infants and toddlers aged six months to four years in the Netherlands. We will assess the cross sectional association between vitamin…
Main: To assess the effect of an early extra measles immunization between 6and 12 months of age on the development of humoral and cell-mediatedimmunity against measles following routine MMR immunization at 14months of age.Secundary:Determine effect…
To compare postprandial plasma amino acid concentrations over time after ingestion of a fixed amount of protein from different dairy products in healthy adults.
1.Social CognitiveA.Do schizophrenia patients, compared to unaffected controls, show impaired social cognition (perceiving, understanding, intentions and emotions of others), especially when it comes to self-other distinction processes (…
The primary objective is to study if quantitative (3- and 7-Tesla) MRI protocols (MRI perfusion, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and chemical shift imaging (CSI)) are able to detect phenotype conversion earlier than conventional MRI. Results will be…
