Our experiment will assess the respective role of the mirror neuron system (MNS) and theory of mind areas for understanding someone else*s immediate intentions and state of mind (prior intention). We want to test the hypothesis that making…
The assessment of the duration of the cellular immunity to Bordetella pertussis after an extra ACV booster and the relationship between the memory B- cells and antibody responses. The methods used in the study are:B- and T- cell memory responses and…
In this study, we will systematically investigate the influence of distractors on target processing in patients with lesions to the frontal, parietal and occipital system. This will be measured by eye movements. Furthermore, prism adaptation will be…
In the proposed experiments we intend to investigate both central and peripheral aspects of fatigue in MS patients using a combination of simultaneously applied techniques; twitch-superimposition, electromyographic (EMG) and force recordings and…
The aim of the current study is to investigate which gene-abnormalities can be related to brain deficits and symptoms associated with schizophrenia.
The core approach of our proposed project is to investigate three aspects of emotional recognition in the Möbius and congenital bilateral facial paralysis populations through observed facial expressions, and the possible link between them, as…
The objective of the study is to determine if a 3D motion platform (to measure vestibular function) and accelerometry and a insole pressure system (to measure balance) can be used in future research on patients with vestibular lesions. For this, we…
Cytotoxic treatment may lead to long-lasting brain damage that can result in persistent cognitive changes and accelerated cognitive decline at an older age. The proposed study will investigate whether chemotherapy causes brain changes different from…
The objective of this observational study is the safe introduction of clinical applied IVM in The Netherlands. During this study, the number and quality of the oocytes and embryos will be studied as well as pregnancy development. Emphasis will be on…
The aim of this experiment is to test whether the right sided activity observed in schizophrenics during language processing is either contributing, interfering or just epiphenomenal by nature, as compared to healthy controls with normal left…
The primary objective of the present study is to increase our insight in the neural processing in pre-lingually deaf and implanted patients, regarding the prediction and explanation of postoperative differences in performance within this specific…
The aim of the present experiment is to test whether the normally right-lateralised response to emotional prosody is reduced in KS.
In this study we investigate the influence of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors sunitinib and sorafenib, on the normal humoral and cellular immune reponse to influenza vaccination in patients with metastases of renal cell carcinoma or a GIST.
The objectives of this study are:1) assess the differences in pain sensitivity between children with and without chronic pain2) collecting normative data for pain sensitivity in children aged 8-123) investigate the relationship between parental…
Study the role of reward on learningprocesses and the underlying brainactivity in children with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).
The primary objective of this study is to investigate defeasible inference in ASD in order to obtain more insight into the reasoning capacities of ASD patients. This study is part of the NWO-project Reasoning and the brain.
The objective of this study is twofold. The first objective is to investigate the relative aerobic load during walking of people with a lower limb prosthesis. The second objective is to investigate the influence of balance control as a possible…
Mapping the impact of MPH on reward sensitivity and learningprocesses in children with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).
This study aims to gain insight into the effect of inflammatory factors on bone metabolism. For this purpose we formulated the following research questions:1. Which circulating inflammatory factors play a central role in the pathogenesis of general…
Overall aim: To study the influence of M.leprae antigens on differentiation and maturation of DCs and to identify M.leprae antigens, receptors on antigen presenting cells and signaling pathways which play a role in leprosy pathology. Main objective…
