What?s involved?

We would like to investigate how naturally occurring chemicals in the body called

?neuropeptides? effect mental processes. In the study you will receive a single

neuropeptide or a dummy drug (placebo), in the form of a nasal spray. After this

we will we scan your brain using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) while you

receive brief sensory stimulation. Several of these stimuli will be moderately

painful. MRI is completely non-invasive & safe in most people and we will screen

everybody for their suitability. Similarly the neuropeptide has been extensively

used in research studies. We will adjust the intensity of the stimulation to a level

you are happy with.

We will also ask you to provide two blood samples (one teaspoon or 5ml each) and

urine samples for pregnancy & drug tests, which we have to do for safety reasons.

We will also ask you to complete a couple of questionnaires and perform a short

computerized task.


Compensation

You will receive a total of ?100 for participating in this study.


Procedure

Email us to get more information.

You will visit us three times in total.

? A single screening visit (2-2,5h) to familiarize you with the study.

? 2 x MRI sessions (ca. 2,5h each)


Where?s the study taking place?

At the Centre for Neuroimaging Sciences, King?s College London, near Denmark Hill

station.


Am I eligible? Yes, if you

? Are female, right-handed, 18-32 years old, healthy, with good vision (w or w/o glasses)

? Have European ancestry (both parents)

? Have a regular menstrual cycle and have not used hormonal contraception within the last 6

months

? Are not/have not been pregnant and are not the primary carer of a child

? Do not suffer from claustrophobia (the scanner is a narrow tube)

? Do not have any non-removable metal in your body (teeth fillings are fine, though)

Not sure? Just ask us.


Email us for more information, we are happy to answer any questions you might have!


We are looking forward to hearing from you! :)

    • Received this response from TFL today (15 October)   Thank you for contacting us on 1 October regarding the ongoing diversion of the P13 bus route between Rye Lane and Sainsbury’s, Dog Kennel Hill, since 29 September. You’re absolutely right that the diversion is due to Thames Water works in the area. While other traffic may appear to be flowing freely along Avondale Rise into Ivanhoe Road, our local Service Delivery Manager has confirmed that buses are unable to safely make the turn from Avondale Rise into Ivanhoe Road in either direction. This is due to the size and turning radius of the vehicles, which differs significantly from that of smaller vehicles. We understand that diversions can be inconvenient and appreciate your patience while this work is ongoing. We’re continuing to monitor the situation closely and will restore the usual route as soon as it is safe and operationally feasible to do so. Thanks again for contacting us. If there is anything else we can help you with, please reply to this email. Alternatively, you can call us on 0343 222 1234 and we'll be happy to help you.
    • If anyone is looking for a tree surgeon, I recommend Hamish and Cut Above Tree Management. He was very helpful and personable, quick to respond and did an excellent job of removing a wonky tree in my garden with a minimum of hassle. A fantastic service!
