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.
Determine the influence of methylphenidate treatment on sleep-wake rhythm and endogenous melatonin rhythm.
To investigate whether impairments of shifting between response sets underlie motor freezing in PD and to investigate the efficacy and the neural mechanism by which MPH improves gait and cognition in PD patients with FOG.
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…
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…
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…
Primary objective of the study: 1. To report on the effectmodification by age of MPH treatment on the outgrowth of the DA system using state-of-the-art Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniquesSecondary objectives:1. To report on the…
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…
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…
Patients will be evaluated for safety and tolerability of the therapy, but also for signs of clinical efficacy. As long as the patients are on the ICU, measurements of clinical signs and laboratory data will be collected for safety reasons and for…
The aim of this project is to investigate associations between visual system functioning, ADHD, and the circadian rhythm. We will also investigate the effects on the functioning of the visual system of commonly used treatments for ADHD and related…
