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…
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 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.
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…
To compare postprandial plasma amino acid concentrations over time after ingestion of a fixed amount of protein from different dairy products in healthy adults.
To study the influence of systemic blood flow and mean arterial pressure on cerebral blood flow and cerebral tissue oxygenation in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery.
PrimaryTo determine whether the palatability of a newly developed formulation of valacyclovir is non-inferior to administration of crushed and suspended tablets in children, is the primary objective of the second phase of the trial.The primary…
The overall objective of this study is to understand how consumers adapt their oral processing behaviours in response to small texture variations of yogurts and how changes in oral processing behaviour of yogurts impact the amount of food eaten and…
To test whether a short FD protocol can be used to test whether effects of light on alertness, sleep, metabolism and temperature are under circadian control.
To investigate acute effects of a single 40 mg dose hydrocortisone, compared with placebo, on stress and various aspects of attention and other cognitive processing of emotionally relevant stimuli in healthy anxious young females. The main question…
Primary aim: To determine the effects of oro-sensory exposure stimulation through mastication duration and sweetness intensity on the endocrine and metabolic cephalic phase responses.Secundary aim: To determine whether the magnitude of cephalic…
The present project characterizes the use of 15N-intrinsically-labelled milk protein as a reference-protein for development a minimal invasive method that can be used to assess protein quality in human subjects. For this purpose, our primary…
The primary objective of this study is to determine the independent and additive effects of oro-sensory exposure (mastication effort) and ingestion rate (bite interval) on satiation in relation to the cephalic endocrine and metabolic hormonal…
Primary Objective: to assess the immediate and delayed effects of THC on true and false memories in a legal context (i.e., on eyewitness and offender statements).Secondary Objective(s): to link drug-induced false memory effects to…
The main objective of this study is to find if there is a measurable improvement of transfemoral amputees standing up with the active knee support prosthesis (ERK) in comparison to standing up without active knee support.
The primary objective is to assess the post-prandial serum amino-acid profile of duckweed protein in healthy adult volunteers in comparison to a another plant-based high-protein crop: green pea. A secondary objective is to assess post-prandial…
To this end, two study protocols have been developed, one concerning the *target group* of overweight children (aged 12-16), only including non-invasive measurements, and one targeting adult overweight participants (aged 18-45), allowing for…
1) To investigate the effect of atomoxetine on resting-state fMRI measures of network functional connectivity.2) To assess the effect of atomoxetine on several task performance variables, that are hypothesized to reflect tonic LC-NE activity.3) To…
Study I: To assess the bioavailability of Zinc from full cream UHT milk, fortified full cream UHT milk, a supplement, and raw milk.Study II: To assess the potential enhancing effect of milk on Zn absorption from intrinsically labelled rice (as a…
