Various brain areas play a crucial role in both pain and cognition, supporting the existence of a close relationship between pain and cognition. Consequently, it is important to examine whether pain experience changes at the moment the patient shows…
The present protocol addresses these issues, with a systematic approach where we first assess optimal settings for BCI, and then test the quality of BCI application in adequately sized groups of subjects. The whole project is aimed at obtaining a…
In humans with SCI, we propose to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to: 1) examine the cortical areas that are activated during voluntary contractions, and 2) evaluate how cortical activation patterns change as a muscle is fatigued.…
To increase our understanding of the developmental significance of chromosomal mosaicism in preimplantation embryos by investigating their implantation potential and the fate of abnormal cells after an in vitro implantation procedure.
The main objective of the study is to determine whether, and if so, to what extent, there are differences in memory vividness, detail and certainty between OCD patients, another anxiety disorder patients and healthy subjects in a repetitive checking…
To study whether there is an individual setpoint for the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad axis in men
The main objective of this study is to gain knowledge about the biological processes that underlie the effect of cognitive fatigue on learning in middle aged people.
There are some unresolved issues that we intend to address in this project. We will examine 1) whether with locating the motorcortex with functional MRI, the best location of the electrodes can be predetermined, 2) how brain activity changes in the…
Determine the influence of methylphenidate treatment on sleep-wake rhythm and endogenous melatonin rhythm.
To reduce the consumption of oral corticosteroids (OCS) in patients with severe asthma while maintaining asthma control, in order to decrease the incidence of long-term steroid-induced side effects and to improve quality of life (QoL). The specific…
The main objective is to explore what is going on in two brains at the same time while they are interacting with each other in a controlled fashion: during the game of charades.
The goal of this study is to validate and interpret a new HRQOL instrument and to analyse commonly used outcome measurements (PGA, PtGA) in dermatology.
The aim of the study is to test the synergistic effect of resistant starch, capsaicin, and protein on energy expenditure, substrate oxidation, and satiety. Furthermore, to investigate whether an 80% energy requirement high-protein diet containing…
To assess normal values of echocardiographic parameters and exercise tolerance as asssessed by bicycle ergometry in healty schoolchildren 12-18 years old.
The objective of this study is to make a first step in clarifying the information needs regarding the end of life.
The aim of this experimental study is to find out whether children and young adults with the DS have an altered pain sensitivity in comparison with children and young adults without cognitive impairement.
1) To determine the effects of caloric restriction on hypothalamic function in response to glucose ingestion in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.2) To determine the effects of weight loss on hypothalamic function in response to glucose…
This study aims to establish the effectiveness of web-based counselee-tailored information plus question prompt designed to 1) increase realistic expectations of breast cancer genetic counselling, 2) facilitate participation, question asking and…
In the present study we propose two TMS experiments, in which we want to examine the brain areas crucially involved in the processing of emotional prosody in healthy right handed subjects.
The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate whether precise HDsEMG-guidance improves the therapeutic effect of BTXA. Because of its minor functional importance and focused endplate distribution, the extensor digitorum brevis (EDB) muscle is selected…
