The main objective of the present protocol is to investigate to what extent oxytocin modulates specific aspects of interpersonal approach, mimicry, and communication in healthy volunteers with varying degrees of social anxiety.Results from this…
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…
The main objective of the present protocol is to investigate to what extent oxytocin modulates specific aspects of approach behavior and action control in healthy volunteersResults from this study shall give rise to designing a future study on the…
Objective: This study hypothesizes that an oxytocin inhalation will increase prosocial behavior and reduces social anxiety during social interaction specifically in patients with SAD in comparison to a clinical and healthy control group
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.
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…
To evaluate the effects of intranasal oxytocin compared to placebo administration on appetite, satiety and food intake.Also effects on social behavior, BMI, body composition, IGF-I levels and genetic differences (deletion / mUPD). To assess oxytocin…
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…
Fundamental research with the objective to gain more insight in empathic processes within people suffering from psychopathy. Goal is to evaluate if affective empathic can be temporarily altered (in terms of minutes).
To evaluate the effects of long-term intranasal oxytocin on social behaviour in children with PWS and to compare the effects of different doses and frequencies of oxytocin administration
To evaluate the effects of intranasal oxytocin versus placebo on social behaviour and also on eating behaviour in children with PWS.
In a series of randomized control trials (RCTs) the following hypothesis will be tested: Intranasal administration of oxytocin and vasopressin affect neural and behavioral responses to infant signals and threat to the infant.* Oxytocin and…
