Primary objective:To identify the neural mechanisms via which oxytocin modulates social decision-making.Secondary objectives:- To provide an extension of observed behavioral effects of oxytocin on decision-making, specifically to examine decisions…
Examine how unexpected reward and unexpected punishment affect working memory, that is, the ability to maintain information across time, update task-relevant information and ignore task-irrelevant information.Determine the extent to which…
Primary objective: to determine the effect of intake of one dose of isoflavones, as compared to placebo, for eight weeks on gene-expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) in post-menopausal, equol-producing women.Secondary Objectives…
To test the hypothesis that ingesting a nocturnal bolus of intact casein stimulates muscle protein synthesis in elderly.
We will evaluate the acute effects of GH on, and its relation with, cognition in healthy subjects. The present proposal focuses on the following questions:1. Does an acute rise of plasma GH levels have a (beneficial) effect on cognitive performance…
Investigate the effects of levocetirizine, diphenhydramine and placebo on cognitive and psychomotor functioning during controlled simulated diving in a recompression chamber in professional navy divers at 10 mt (2 bar) and 30 mt (4 bar).
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of oxyntomodulin, a substance that is naturally produced in your body, when you fast (not eat for a period of time) and when you are given a glucose (sugar water) infusion.
Primary objective: To create diagnostic and treatment tools for navigation ability in stroke patients, that can be used in clinical practice.Secondary objective: To increase knowledge about the cognitive structure and neuroanatomical correlates of…
This study aims to determine the effects of acute coffee consumption compared to consumption of decaffeinated coffee on subjective fatigue and vitality ratings, neuropsychological performance and brain activity during working memory and learning…
Primary Objective: • to study the effect of intake of two isoflavone preparations, as compared to placebo, for eight weeks on gene-expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) in post-menopausal women.Secondary Objectives: • to determine…
To assess time trial performance following 1x140 mL dose of concentrated beetroot juice containing ~8 mmol of nitrate (NO3-) ingested 3 h prior to the onset of exercise.
The closer examination of acute effects of a single administration cortisol. compared to placebo, on different aspects of attention and other cognitive processing of emotionally relevant stimuli in healthy young men. The central question is what…
Study 1:- Determine whether loss aversion behaviour (i.e. increased sensitivity to losses compared to gains) is modulated by dopamine levels using a pharmacological challenge- Assess whether this effect is accompanied by the modulation of brain…
To study whether the administration of oxytocin leads to stronger empathic responses on 3 different empathy-related tasks compared to a placebo.
In this study we want to investigate the effects of sustained hyperglycaemia and hypoxia on the hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and hypoxic ventilatory response
In this study we focus on behavior in response to different infant signals, including crying as well as smiling. More specifically we investigate the behavioral differences of an individual towards different infants who are either perceived as happy…
The main objective is to investigate the role of MRs in memory acquisition and recall during stress and non-stress conditions. Specifically, we are interested in two domains of memory, spatial and fear memory. Secondary objectives are to determine…
In this study neural responses to infant crying will be measured with fMRI. In addition, the neural base of emotion understanding will be examined with fMRI. Participants will look at pictures of adults and infant and they have to infer the mental…
In this studie we wish to examine the FGF-23 suppressive effects of calcitonin in healthy men.
To further study effects of a single administration of cortisol, compared to placebo, on different aspects of attention and other cognitive processing of emotionally relevant information in healthy young men. This should provide new information on…
