Cognitive Effects of Atomoxetine in Humans: Genetic Moderators
Study Overview
Detailed Description
This will be a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, with cocaine use (cocaine users vs. healthy controls) and NET AAGG4 status (L4/ L4 vs. L4/S4 or S4/ S4 genotype) as the between-subject factors. Similar to previous studies, we propose to compare individuals with two copies of the L4 allele to participants with at least one S4 allele because only less than two percent of the general population is homozygous for the S4 allele. Forty cocaine users and 40 healthy controls will participate in 3 test sessions, where they will be assigned to 40 mg atomoxetine, 80 mg atomoxetine, or placebo. Outcome measures will include physiological, subjective, and cognitive performance measures.
To date this study has 35 completers and currently in data analysis. (January 2016)

Rapid Visual Information Processing
Time Frame: 2 years
|
Cognitive Test to determine the speed of Visual information.
The CANTAB Rapid Visual Information Processing test (RVP) is a measure of sustained attention with a small working memory component (Sahakian and Owen, 1992).
Digits are rapidly (100/minute) and pseudo-randomly presented for 7 minutes.
Subjects are instructed to press when the third digit of a target sequence (e.g.
3-5-7) is displayed.
Primary outcomes are indices of target discriminability (A') and response bias (B") and response latency to targets.
