We aim to investigate the relation between cortical excitability, GABA concentration and plasticity in the human motor cortex. We plan to modulate the functional integrity the primary motor cortex by using well-known repetitive transcranial magnetic…
The Food4Me study aims to demonstrate the validity of delivering personalised nutrition advice at varying levels in a cohort across 7 EU states:The objective is to challenge the current view that personalised nutrition has to be rooted solely in…
This study will form the basis for future studies that are planned to investigate chemosensory disturbances in elderly and testicular cancer patients who are undergoing cisplatin based chemotherapy within the University Medical Center Groningen.…
The main objective is to gain insight into the temporal differences between the perceived sweetness and irritation of carbonated beverages with sucrose and/or Stevia. More specifically, objectives of part 1 of the study are:- To assess the overall…
The primary objective is to investigate the effect of training on a neurofeedback task targeting the DLPFC, on the frontostriatal network. As a secondary objective, we investigate whether such training changes mental effort.
Study 1To determine if and to what extent it is possible to manipulate physiological stress responses (heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and electrodermal response) using our developed set-up. To this end we will look at the…
The aim is to specify the role of the vlPFC in the control of social emotional behavior. We will combine transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and a modified version of the joystick affective AAT involving posturography (to assess postural…
To this end, two study protocols have been developed, one concerning the *target group* of overweight children (aged 12-16), only including non-invasive measurements, and one targeting adult overweight participants (aged 18-45), allowing for…
The current study evaluates the OrthoSensor and investigates whether the combination of the Vanguard® Knee System with the OrthoSensor results in a faster recovery and better clinical outcomes during short follow up compared to conventional TKA (…
The objective of this study is to assess whether oral exposure to beer and non-alcoholic beer elicits similar reward responses in the brain in a setting where only beer is expected. This knowledge will give fundamental insight in whether alcohol is…
To elucidate the changes in the timing of sleep and waking, sleep quality and endogenous circadian phase in different chronotypes (e.g. *owls* vs. *larks*) with different amounts of social jetlag shielded from short wavelength (blue) light in the…
This study aims to investigate the effects of a behavioral intervention which is aimed at the improvementenhancing of parental sensitivity and sensitive disciplinary techniques to on the development of children*s social competence and behavioral…
The primary study objective is to investigate effects of conditioning on self-reported itch in healthy subjects in response to a short-term validated histamine test. Conditioning effects on other physiological and psychological parameters will be…
Investigating the neural mechanisms underlying the intensity and pleasantness coding of flavours in healthy volunteers would provide 1) dissociation of the brain activity patterns related to flavour intensity and pleasantness and 2) insight into how…
Here we will test the hypothesis that stimulating DLPFC with either rTMS or tDCS during one single session affects the functional connectivity of the DLPFC, and is associated with an increase of activation in connected areas of the cerebrum and…
The primary objective is to establish, in healthy subjects, the time-dependent effects of social stress on the tendency to generalize neural, emotional and fearful memories to new contexts. The secondary objective is to assess whether several…
Primary Objective: To determine the independent and combined effects of mastication duration and orosensory stimulation intensity on satiation. Secondary Objective: To investigate whether chewing behaviour type affects satiation through orosensory…
The primary objective is to investigate whether exogenous oxytocin administration enhances the placebo effect of positive suggestions as measured by subjective pain intensity and itch ratings in response to validated pain (Cold Pressor Test) and…
This study attempts to explore the relation between the functioning of the schema-related mPFC, REM sleep and affective memory bias, by simulating a depressive-like state in healthy subjects through negative mood induction and applying rTMS to…
To investigate contributions of the angular gyrus in recollection processes.
