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…
To investigate the impact of the multispecies probiotic product Ecologic*Barrier on neurocognitive measures of emotion and executive functioning.
We aim to validate MRS with a cholinergic challenge as method to investigate muscarinic M1 receptor functioning. To investigate the relationship between the response to a muscarinic receptor antagonist with biperiden phMRI and [123I]IDEX SPECT…
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…
Objective: This study will investigate if AIM can be trained among people with chronic anger management processes. According to the AIM model, repeating avoidance responses to threatening stimuli may reduce aggressive impulses within this population…
This study will investigate the counter impulse hypothesis. According to the counter-impulse hypothesis, avoidance motivation counters aggressive impulses. Consequently, this regulatory impact should be especially effective when people*s aggressive…
Primary objective:- To identify the psychological mechanisms via which testosterone modulates value-based decision making, such as testosterone's effects on risk-taking levels, impulsivity and self-control in intertemporal choice, and social…
Primary objective: To identify the neural mechanisms via which testosterone modulates social decision-making. Secondary objectives: - To provide an extension of observed behavioral effects of testosterone on decision-making, specifically to examine…
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…
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…
To study whether the administration of oxytocin leads to stronger empathic responses on 3 different empathy-related tasks compared to a placebo.
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…
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…
The current study aims to further our understanding of the relationship between baseline measures - such as impulsivity, working memory and social support - and the effects of enhancing dopamine (via methylphenidate administration) across a wide…
- to assess the effects of intranasal administration of oxytocin in comparison to placebo on trust, as measured by the behavioural response to the Trust game- to assess the effects of intranasal administration of oxytocin in comparison to placebo on…
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…
Determine the influence of methylphenidate treatment on sleep-wake rhythm and endogenous melatonin rhythm.
To evaluate the effects of tDCS on modulating and stydying frontal brain asymmetry.
The aim of the present double blind cross-over sham controlled study is to study the functional role of the left and right frontal cortex on mood and behaviour in healthy volunteers by applying tDCS to the left and right frontal hemispheres.
