The proposal is organized around five interrelated themes:1. Unravel the interplay between genetic and environmental influences on substance use by using extended twin-family designs.2. Disentangle genes and pathways involved in substance use with…
Primary Objective: The primary objective of this study is to understand to which degree the language system of pre-pubertal children is still plastic compared to adults and which brain areas are recruited by these groups when learning an artificial…
Primairy objective: To investigate whether the sympathetic stimulation of BAT, as assessed with a MIBG SPECT-CT scan, differs between young and elderly subjects.Secondary Objectives: 1) To investigate whether the slope of the correlation between…
Primary objective: To assess the influence of the addition of rinsing with a 0.05% chlorhexidine-containing solution to usual daily oral hygiene care on the incidence of pneumonia in physically-impaired care home residents with dysphagia.Secondary…
The aim of this study is to study risk factors (in the field of public health and occupation as well as medical technical factors) to enable early detection of pregnant women at increased risk and to integrate these risk factors in a risk prognostic…
With the proposed study we aim to gain insight into the effects of oxytocin (OT) on both parents* and grandparents* sensitive, empathic, and protective responses to their (grand)children, and in the neural origins of these responses.The primary…
Our primary aims are 1) to test with observational and electrophysiological techniques whether intranasal oxytocin administration to mothers of young infants increases their defensive reactivity and protective approach responses in mildly…
The main objective of the present project is to assess the impact of gender, physical inactivity, obesity, and bariatric bypass surgery on basal and postprandial muscle protein synthesis rates. This will be investigated by means of three different…
Main: to examine how treatment response and non responder profiles relate to contemporary dichotomized forms and correlates of aggressive behaviour (i.e. pro active vs. reactive, cognitive distortions), location where the treatment is offered,…
Objective: General objective: To improve and standardize assessment of risk behaviour and its behavioural correlates in HIV patients. Specific objectives: 1) To assess sexual risk behaviour in HIV patients, 2) to assess drug related risk behaviour…

The aim of the current proposal is to compare the (cost)effectiveness of a 12-month multidimensional lifestyle approach for SMI outpatients to usual care to reduce cardiometabolic risk factors in SMI patients. Secondary research questions include…
The aim of the study is to examine the well-being of the children involved in fatal partner violence, in terms of post traumatic stress, comorbid psychopathology, mourning, daily functioning and quality of life. In addition, the aim is to…
Investigate how physical fitness and activity evolve over time in paediatric burn patients, also in relation to function.
The aim of this study is to determine whether dopamine modifies the metabolic activity of BAT. Furthermore, we want to investigate the relation between the metabolic activity of BAT with energy expenditure and glucose tolerance in these individuals.
The primary objective of the study is to determine whether exercise training exerts a long term effect on maximal exercise capacity, clinical events, sports participation, serum NT-proBNP and quality of life in adults with a systemic right ventricle…
