To test the feasibility of a conditioning paradigm aimed at influencing endogenous cortisol levels and provide data for power calculations for the main study on conditioning of endogenous cortisol and its psychophysiological effects.
- 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…
To assess time trial performance in the fasted and fed state while mouth-rinsing with a carbohydrate solution and/or a placebo.
Primary objectiveDoes administration of THC produce an increase in subcortical dopamine level of chronic cannabis users? Does this effect on dopamine modulate the link between spontaneous eye blink rate, performance on divergent and convergent…
The primary objective of this study is to examine the beneficial effects of nutritional support on the resistance type exercise training-induced changes in body composition and muscle fiber characteristics in healthy young men.
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…
The present study will examine whether administration of a beta blocker (propranolol) and cortisol (hydrocortisone) to a healthy male population during retrieval of emotional memories in healthy subjects will lead to long term changes in these…
-Identify the neural correlates of enhanced formation of emotional memory, and parse the role of adrenal stress hormones in this process.-Identify the neural correlates of enhanced consolidation of emotional memory and parse the role of adrenal…
In this study, the relationship between deficits within emotional memory and different typologies of psychopathy (impulsive vs. instrumental) will be examined. Furthermore, the current research concerns the influence (either positive or negative) of…
The aim of the study is to compare glycemic responses after consumption of a standard (carbohydrate dense) energy bar and an energy bar with modified macronutrient composition.
To scrutinize the role of OT in human social-emotional behaviour and gain insight in the neurobiological mechanism by which the peptide exert their effects.
Determine the influence of methylphenidate treatment on sleep-wake rhythm and endogenous melatonin rhythm.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of dopamine in learning about sexual reward in healthy females. We suppose that repeated associations between a neutral stimulus and sexual stimulation results, through classical conditioning, in…
The aim of the present study is get more insight into the effects of alcohol on acute changes in brain communication en behavioral inhibition. It is hypothesized that alcohol will result cause impairments in the ability to inhibit behavioral…
The aims of this proposal are to show that, additional to a normal daily food intake, the intake of carbohydrate and protein during and post-exercise increases muscle protein synthesis. Second, that the intake of carbohydrate and protein during…
Primary outcome is the change in depression severity. Depressive symptoms will be monitored at t=0, t=15 and after a 3 week follow-up (t=18).
The objective of these studies is to identify the primary mechanisms of GC-induced dysmetabolic effects in humans and to find biomarkers that reflect these side effects of GC treatment and which can be followed during therapy and in future clinical…
The effect of carbohydrate mouth-rinsing on time trial performance and rates of perceived exertion, compared to a placebo.
To identify the brain and behavioral mechanisms via which oxytocin modulates communicative behavior.
In this studie we wish to examine the FGF-23 suppressive effects of calcitonin in healthy men.
