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 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.
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…
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 objectives:- To assess the safety and tolerability of intravenous (IV) infusion doses and infusion dosing methodologies of ABP-700 alone or in the presence of pre-medications commonly used in the monitored anesthesia care (MAC) setting.- To…
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…
Determine the influence of methylphenidate treatment on sleep-wake rhythm and endogenous melatonin rhythm.
The primary aim of our study will be to investigate the effectiveness of PCIT in comparison with methylphenidate in children with ADHD and disruptive behavior problems aged 2;6 till 6 years who have not responded sufficiently to previously offered…
We propose to conduct a study in healthy young and elderly subjects and patients diagnosed with mild to moderate AD, FTLD, or DLB where cholinergic and serotonergic challenges are given in a placebo-controlled, crossover fashion. Before each…
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…
We propose to conduct a study in healthy subjects where a serotonergic challenge is given in a placebo-controlled, crossover fashion. Before each challenge, participants will be measured 1 time to define their baseline resting state networks (RSNs)…
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…
The comparison of the effects (and cost effectiveness) of mindfulness training for the child + Mindful Parenting for the parents versus medication (Methylphenidate) in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in children with ADHD, aged 9-18.
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.
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…
