What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
BOLD response during emotion recognition in contrast with a corresponding control condition.
Time Frame: (Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
|
In the Social Detection Task, subjects' brain activity when viewing social scenes will be compared to corresponding control scenes in which no people are shown. In the GoNoGo Task several emotional conditions will be compared to a neutral control condition. |
(Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
|
BOLD response during response inhibition (Emotional Go/ Nogo) in contrast with a corresponding control condition.
Time Frame: (Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
|
Brain activation during NoGo trials will be compared to brain activation during Go trials from the same emotional condition.
|
(Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Serum levels of Oxytocin
Time Frame: (Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
|
(Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
|
|
Serum levels of Prolaktin
Time Frame: (Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
|
(Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
|
|
Serum levels of Cortisol
Time Frame: (Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
|
(Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
|
|
Total length of fixations on areas of interest (AOIs) assessed via eye-tracking
Time Frame: (Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
|
In the SoDeTa stimulus set, faces, arms and hands were defined as 1st order AOIs and remaining parts of the body as 2nd order AOIs. In the GoNoGo task, for each stimulus, the eye region of the face was chosen as AOI. |
(Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
|
Number of fixations on areas of interest (AOIs) assessed via eye-tracking
Time Frame: (Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
|
In the SoDeTa stimulus set, faces, arms and hands were defined as 1st order AOIs and remaining parts of the body as 2nd order AOIs. In the GoNoGo task, for each stimulus, the eye region of the face was chosen as AOI. |
(Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
|
Percentage of correct responses in an emotion recognition paradigm (Social Detection Task) and a response inhibition task (Emotional Go/Nogo).
Time Frame: (Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
|
(Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
|
|
Response time in an emotion recognition paradigm (Social Detection Task) and a response inhibition task (Emotional Go/Nogo).
Time Frame: (Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
|
(Day 1: oxytocin, Day: 14:placebo, or vice versa [counterbalanced])
