Our primary aims are 1) to test with observational and electrophysiological techniques whether intranasal oxytocin administration to mothers of young infants increases their defensive reactivity and protective approach responses in mildly…
The main objective of this study is to assess the efficiency of oxytocin compared to placebo as an addition to the exposure sessions in the treatment of PTSD. We hypothesize that adding oxytocin to exposure in TF-CBT produces acute changes in…
Does ECT in combination with nortriptyline result in a more likely and or faster response than ECT alone? Does continuation pharmacotherapy with nortriptyline result in a lower relapse rate or longer time to relapse in responders to ECT in…
In this study we will try to replicate and extend the findings of Domes et al (2007) of oxytocin effects on *mind-reading* in two specific groups of participants; i.e. in a group of high-functioning individuals with autism, and a normal comparison…
In this study we will assess these prosocial effects in an objective way i.e. by means of computer tasks and we will investigate the role of two potential mediators and the role of a genotype variant in the mechanism underlying prosocial behavior.…
The primary objective is to assess the effectiveness of the administration of intranasal oxytocin in addition to Narrative Exposure therapy (NET) in reducing PTSD and co-morbid depressive symptoms in patients with chronic PTSD, compared to…
Observe the adherence rate of antidepressants during pregnancy and secondary exploration of possible factors which contribute to non-adherence
The proposed study aims to examine: I. whether MDD-patients with a high TRD-level have diminished reward/reinforcement learning, dysfunctional dopaminergic, glutamatergic and/or GABA-ergic neurotransmission (relative to no-TRD patients/controls) II…
Aim: To investigate the efficacy of nortriptyline in FD patients with a predicted CYP2D6 extensive metabolizer phenotype. Nortriptyline is a second generation TCA with significantly fewer anticholinergic side effects compared to the first generation…
In a randomized control trial (RCT) with mothers with postpartum depressive symptoms the following main hypotheses will be tested:• Oxytocin will promote more sensitive caregiving during mother-infant interactions and while interacting with a life-…
