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 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…
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.…
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…
To investigate the effect of modafinil (200 mg) and caffeine (300 mg) on vigilance in low, medium and high caffeine consumers during the circadian trough in order to determine the best pharmacological agent to target fatigue.
The goals of the proposed study are: (1) to further elucidate the relations between impulse control, motivational strength of drug cues, and brain activation patterns (using fMRI); (2) to examine the relative strength by which these processes are…
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…
The aim of this exploratory (pilot) study is 1) To study the effect of tVNS with high-resolution 7-Tesla (7T) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and concomitant autonomic monitoring by cardiac and respiratory waveform analytics; 2) To…
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-…
Transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) has been recently shown to have analgesic potential in patients with chronic functional abdominal (visceral) pain. Functional abdominal pain, as commonly seen in conditions such as irritable…
