The objective of this project is to study the role of dopaminergic mechanisms in apathy, mood and HDD in patients with PD. What is the involvement of the dopaminergic neurotransmitter system in motivation and reward processes in PD and the clinical…
The objectives of this study are to establish whether methylphenidate PD effects can be measured using neurocognitive tasks, to describe the drug concentrations of methylphenidate in saliva, to describe the PK/PD relationship using the obtained…
1) To investigate if it is possibility to measure neural activation (CBF) in the DA brain stem nuclei and the functionally associated brain regions with ASL. 2) To investigate the effect of increased DA on activation in the DA system during resting…
To establish the pharmacokinetic profiles of saliva and plasma concentration of 10 mg MPH-IR and 18 mg MPH-OROS in healthy volunteers; to investigate whether there is a correlation between saliva- and plasma levels of MPH-IR and MPH-OROS, and if…
Primary Objective:The primary objective in the current trial is to use graph theory to examine how the organization of the functional brain network may be altered by the administration of methylphenidate. The main question we intend to answer in…
We aim to examine, in the impaired older population, whether a treatment using methylphenidate, a DA re-uptake inhibitor that enhances DA, improves attention and memory.
Primary Objective: To study the change on performance on executive function and memory function (as measured on Neurocart), after an active challenge with methylphenidate (monoaminergic) and galantamine (cholinergic), compared to placebo, in…
