The following research questions will be addressed in two different studies:1. Do addicted patients with high scores on psychopathy have reduced empathic concern associated with reduced LPP amplitude and mu-suppression during an empathy task? 2. Are…
To assess whether temporary discontinuation of antihypertensive therapy in mildly cognitively impaired older patients on antihypertensive treatment improves cognitive and psychological functioning.
Here we propose that in order to identify causal mechanisms that explain AD/HD-related heterogeneity, an integrative approach is needed. Therefore, in this project we will study the interaction between motivation and executive function in AD/HD and…
Primary: to study the frequency and characteristics of fatigue and cognitive disorders after minor stroke. Secondary: to gain more insight in the aetiology of post-stroke fatigue and evaluate the impact of post-stroke fatigue on personal and social…
Identification of genetic variations that control monoamine and amino acid metabolism in humans, by translating recent genetic findings in non-human primates to a human cohort.
The main objective of the current study is to examine whether people with ASD have over-active inhibitory inter-connections in visual processing areas that can account for their over-sensitivity to perceptual dissimilarities.
2. OBJECTIVESPrimary Objective: 1. Does conversion tremor show similar abnormal cerebral activation patterns compared to conversion pareses?Secondary Objective:1. Is decreased precuneus activity also present in conversion tremor?
To assess the effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in pregnant women with symptoms of anxiety or depression on the child*s behavioral/emotional problems. In addition, we aim to study its effects on the child*s development, maternal mental…
In the proposed study, we will experimentally elucidate the effect of DBS on various critical dimensions of cognitive control including: the free will experience, instrumental learning, environmental change detection and working memory.
The objective of this study is to know more about the relationship between cognitive copingstrategies and anxiety and depression. This knowledge is helpfull in development of treatment for anxiety and depression in ASD.
Primary Objective: Using fMRI to assess differences in brain activation during: (a) up- and down-regulation of emotional reaction to negative and positive pictures vs neutral pictures; and (b) working memory at low and high load with emotional…
We aim to identify biomarkers (from neuroimaging, eye tracking, EEG, cognition, biochemistry, proteomics, genomics) for stratification of ASD. Biomarkers will be crucial to aid more accurate and earlier diagnosis of ASD. They are also needed for…
Primary Objective is to determine whether (A) patients with dystonia(plus) syndromes exhibit more psychiatric symptoms compared to a healthy control group and (B) whether dystonia patients show an altered serotonin metabolism (serotonin transporter…
Our primary objective is to investigate the development of structural and functional connectivity in autism and ADHD in comparison to the typical development of connectivity. A secondary objective is to investigate the effects of ADHD and autism…
This study has two main objectives. One objective is to investigate which cognitive and affective mechanisms can be influenced through treatment which leads to improved social functioning. We will use a carefully selected set of behavioral,…
Aims:a) Understand persistence and/or plasticity of the brain correlatesb) Understand specificity of the brain correlatesQuestions:a) Which neural correlates of OCD are state dependent and thus normalized after successful treatment?b) Which neural…
If normal doubt occurs, will OCD patients differ from non-OCD anxiety patients and healthy controls in how much uncertainty they will experience and will OCD patients respond to this with more perseveration (chekcing behavior) than non-OCD anxiety…
Primary objective 1: Does repeated relevant checking in general lead to automatization in OCD patients? Primary objective 2: If automatization as a result of repeated relevant checking occurs, do OCD patients differ from other anxiety disorder…
1) to investigate cognitive functioning in lacunar infarct patients with and without periventricular white matter lesions; 2) to identify predictors for cognitive dysfunction in lacunar infarct patients.
The aim of this study is the investigate genetic and environmental factors which make a person vulnerable to develop a pychosis and (in patients) affect the progression of a psychosis. A second objective is to investigate the effects of genetic and…
