A fundamental question in the current research proposal concerns how changes in cognitive and social-emotional behavior are related to functional and anatomical brain development. The current proposal has the objective to (a) understand the neural…
The main objective is to describe the interactions between physical sensory stimulations and high-level prior assumptions that give rise to visual perception. In two secondary objectives, we will advance novel model-based neuroimaging data-analysis…
This study aims at the questions about anterograde amnesia. How often does it occur in patients being treated with bilateral ECT for a depressive disorder, how does anterograde amnesia develop during the treatment course and how does it subside…
To improve our insight in chronic pain and to develop methodologies to treat chronic pain.
The aim of the current study is to identify couplings of muscle activation patterns (muscle synergies) in reaching movements in stroke patients. Insight in the motor control of stroke patients can contribute to improve the disabled arm functioning…
How does motor fatigue influence the cognitive functioning of patients with MS and how does this interaction compare to that in healthy controls?
Objective: Primarily, the objective of this study is to assess the role of serotonergic and dopaminergic polymorphisms in fear conditioning. Secondary, we will investigate additional cannabinergic and corticotropinergic polymorphisms in fear-…
Overall aim of the study is to investigate which decision-making models for patient participation are used in practice in end-of-life decision-making and how appropriate are these models for different patient groups.Secondary Objective(s): 1. In…
To study the relation between face processing and activation in cortical pathways in adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
We aim to document the brain anatomy and functioning and development of children and adolescents of different ages who suffer from Prader-Willi syndrome in order to gain insight into the possible relation between the observed behavior and the brain…
The purpose of this pilot study is twofold: - evaluation of the tumour movement and regression during and short after long course pre-operative therapy for locally advanced rectal cancer in order to develop an integrated or sequential dose…
The primary objective of the REBEL study is to collect data needed to design control policies to diminish the spread of ESBL-producing Gram negative bacteria in the Dutch population.
Our objective is to determine the role of androgens and the Y-chromosome in sexual differentiation of the brain. Women with CAIS, who only differ from typical women in that they have a Y-chromosome, and from men in that they cannot respond to…
Determine whether feedback by means of motivational gaming can (partially) restore cognition-related deviations in motor performance as seen in back challenging conditions in CLBP patients.
Is subjective fatigue in patients with MS related to a combination of force reduction during a fatiguing task and depression score?
To investigate if there are differences in serotonin transporters in the hypothalamus between subjects with hypopituitarism suspect for hypothalamic damage, subjects with hypopituitarism and no suspicion of hypothalamic damage and healthy age- and…
The aim of this project is to determine optimal communication strategies for prognostic disclosure in the palliative phase of breast cancer from a patient perspective. Study 1: To explore breast cancer survivors*, healthy women*s and oncologists*…
The primary objective is to investigate if there are differences in the acute postprandial vasodilating effect between different protein sources and if these differences are associated with differences in the responses of vasodilating factors.…
The current study aims to examine the influence of negative emotions on decision making ability in female patients with Anorexia Nervosa restrictive (AN-R) and purging (AN-P) type in comparison to healthy women. There are two primary hypotheses:…
