To investigate the impact of the multispecies probiotic product Ecologic*Barrier on neurocognitive measures of emotion and executive functioning.
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…
We hypothesize that perioperative ketamine will reduce cognitive decline in postoperative patients, in line with its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. There are no previous data available on the effect of ketamine on postoperative…
To investigate whether perturbation of the left middle temporal gyrus results in immediate adaptation in the right hemisphere, indexed by a shift of alpha-beta oscillatory effects from the left to the right hemisphere.
Our primary objective is to investigate the effects of methylphenidate on language comprehension and creativity, and to link these effects with the effects of methylphenidate on working memory. Our secondary objective is to establish the relation…
The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of cerebellar tDCS on impulsivity in healthy adults.
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…
To investigate the direct role of local beta oscillatory activity in the frontal cortex during a reversal learning paradigm.
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…
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…
Overall objective:The overall objective is to test the hypothesis that GLP-1 receptor activation of CNS reward and satiety circuits occurs, in the context of food(-related) stimuli, and that this effect is altered in individuals with obesity and…
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.
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…
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 identify the brain and behavioral mechanisms via which oxytocin modulates communicative behavior.
To test the hypothesis that ingesting a nocturnal bolus of intact casein stimulates muscle protein synthesis in elderly.
The main objective of this study is to examine the effects of resistance type exercise training combined with nutritional support on body composition and muscle characteristics in healthy elderly men and women.
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…
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.
