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…
The proposed experimental pilot study focuses on harm reduction in a specific subpopulation, i.e. in patients with schizophrenia (long-term psychotic disorder) with a suboptimal response to the currently available interventions, smoking a lot of…
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 assess the anabolic properties of free amino acids and milk protein.
The aim of this study is to objectively assess 3D and functional outcomes of upper blepharoplasty on periorbital volume, dry eyes, peripheral vision, electrical activity of the frontal muscles and wellbeing in two different surgical techniques.
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…
- To assess whether the implementation of a deep neuromuscular block (NMB) (PTC 1-2) combined creates optimal surgical conditions as measured by the surgeon (using the 5-point Leiden surgical rating scale) versus a moderate neuromuscular block (TOF…
To study the effectiveness of protein-enriched meals and bread in increasing daily protein intake with at least 14.5g among in-home assisted community-dwelling older adults, in order to reach the daily protein recommendation of 1.2g per kg…
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.
The objective is to assess the efficacy of a cognitive enhancement training in comparison to a general vitality training and a waiting list control group among older workers.
To test if acute NK boosts muscle mitochondrial function in vivo in patients with VLCADD in order to establish a rational basis for therapeutic use in this disorder. A secondary objective is to gather data to test the working hypothesis that the…
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 primary objective of the study is to examine the changes in core body temperature during a 60 minute cycling exercise bout at 85% of maximum predicted heart rate using double blind placebo or paracetamol in a group of healthy young subjects.
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…
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.
The goal of the current investigation is to test the noradrenergic part of a new model that accounts better for results of pharmacological research. This model states that the cholinergic system underlies disengagement, and that the…
