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…
The main objective of the present protocol is to investigate to what extent oxytocin modulates specific aspects of approach behavior and action control in healthy volunteersResults from this study shall give rise to designing a future study on the…
Objectives: 1) To investigate whether attachment security, autonomy-connectedness, and childhood experiences moderate effects of social support during stress; 2) To investigate the influence of oxytocin on the ability to be close to others (in an…
To evaluate the effects of intranasal oxytocin versus placebo on social behaviour and also on eating behaviour in children with PWS.
Our study aims at investigating whether male adults with ASD differ from healthy male adults in their neurophysiological responses to positive and negative empathy-evoking pictures when taking oxytocin intranasally once. To this end we will compare…
OBJECTIVES AND HYPOTHESISPrimary ObjectivesThe primary objectives are to determine- the effect of steady-state telaprevir 750 mg every 8 hours (q8h) on the multiple dose pharmacokinetics ofphenytoin 200 mg every 12 hours (q12h) in healthy subjects,…
- 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…
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…
In this study we will assess these prosocial effects in an objective way i.e. by means of computer tasks and we will investigate the role of two potential mediators and the role of a genotype variant in the mechanism underlying prosocial behavior.…
Objective: This study hypothesizes that an oxytocin inhalation will increase prosocial behavior and reduces social anxiety during social interaction specifically in patients with SAD in comparison to a clinical and healthy control group
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…
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…
To evaluate the effects of long-term intranasal oxytocin on social behaviour in children with PWS and to compare the effects of different doses and frequencies of oxytocin administration
To evaluate in detail the functionality of immune cells in the liver and blood in chronic HCV patients before, during and after treatment with telaprevir, pegylated-IFN-alfa and ribavirin.
To study whether the administration of oxytocin leads to stronger empathic responses on 3 different empathy-related tasks compared to a placebo.
Primary objective:To show that concomitant use of telaprevir (1125 mg BID) does not lead to a relevant decrease (> 20%) in the paroxetine parameter AUC0-24h compared to paroxetine alone.Secondary objectives:To determine the ratio of the…
The main objective of the present protocol is to investigate to what extent oxytocin modulates specific aspects of interpersonal approach, mimicry, and communication in healthy volunteers with varying degrees of social anxiety.Results from this…
Primary aim:In recently traumatized individuals (at the latest on day ten post trauma exposure) with a high initial level of distress, we aim to assess the effectiveness of intranasal OT in preventing symptoms of PTSD at one months post intervention…
This proposal centers on hormone-behavior dynamics in paternal caregiving, with the goal of gaining a better understanding of the development of human paternal caregiving. There is limited information on the hormonal basis of caregiving patterns in…
The proposed study has two objectives. First, we will examine the neural mechanisms of aversive responding to infant cries in healthy female subjects. We will compare participants who showed high cardiovascular responses to infant cries with…
