In this functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) study, the primary objective is to examine the acute effects of intranasal OT administration on emotional- and reward-related brain processes in PTSD patients compared to traumatized healthy…
To characterize the profile of low BMD in >= 50 years old male HIV-1 infected subjects andpost-menopausal female HIV-1 infected subjects taking TDF-based regimens relative tothose taking non-TDF-based regimens for HIV infection.
Our study aims at investigating whether male adults with ASD differ from healthy male adults in their neurophysiological responses to positive and negative empathy-evoking pictures when taking oxytocin intranasally once. To this end we will compare…
To study whether the administration of oxytocin leads to stronger empathic responses on 3 different empathy-related tasks compared to a placebo.
Primary aim:In recently traumatized individuals (at the latest on day ten post trauma exposure) with a high initial level of distress, we aim to assess the effectiveness of intranasal OT in preventing symptoms of PTSD at one months post intervention…
This proposal centers on hormone-behavior dynamics in paternal caregiving, with the goal of gaining a better understanding of the development of human paternal caregiving. There is limited information on the hormonal basis of caregiving patterns in…
To evaluate the effects of intranasal oxytocin versus placebo on social behaviour and also on eating behaviour in children with PWS.
The primary objective of this study is to determine if the binding of [11C]PK11195, as a measure of neuroinflammation, in schizophrenic patients is decreased after simvastatin treatment.
Objectives: 1) To investigate whether attachment security, autonomy-connectedness, and childhood experiences moderate effects of social support during stress; 2) To investigate the influence of oxytocin on the ability to be close to others (in an…
The objective is to study the feasibility of different PET tracers to detect vulnerable plaques in patients with a recent acute coronary syndrome and co-localize these inflammatory lesions with anatomical plaque features obtained with CT based…
To investigate whether discontinuation of Syntocinon® infusion after the onset of active labour decreases caesarean section rates compared to usual care; continuation of oxytocin until the baby and placenta is born.
The aim of the study is to understand whether enhanced oxytocin levels lead to increased eye contact between patient and physician, and if this in turn improves the patient-physician relationship as perceived by the patient.
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…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether there is an increased binding potential of the TSPO ligand [11C]PK11195, which is a marker for microglia activation in neuroinflammation, using PET in patients with CFS compared to healthy…
The aim of this study is to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying altered social performance monitoring from a pharmacological perspective by directly comparing the effects of dopamine and oxytocin on individual and social…
