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)

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! :)

    • I have lost my black Nokia phone. Somewhere in Ashbourne Grove towards the shops. If found please send a Whattsapp message on: 07983333412. Thank you
    • A couple of interesting - albeit anecdotal - letters to the Grauniad today about what I think is more useful question about private schools' conduct and response as institutions, and whether they have changed in the interim. Excerpt: the private schools which were built to train young Englishmen for empire-building were deeply racist even in the 1980s. Mine had a quota for the maximum number of Jewish pupils... I say this not to defend Farage, but to point out that he – and many others from a similar background – were schooled in an environment that condoned or even encouraged blatant racism, while also equipping the pupils with the swagger, charm and polish to make others feel inferior and admiring of them. To see him in isolation is to miss the nature of the sorts of institutions that educated him, and the damage they do. I’m sure the schools will say they have changed, and I hope they have, but while they continue to educate their pupils to believe they are better than others, there will be plenty more where Farage came from. The Dulwich College "rape culture" allegations certainly seem to be consistent with an institutional culture of making its pupils feel better than others - albeit girls and women in those cases rather than Jews and Muslims. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/nov/26/racism-claims-against-nigel-farage-are-no-surprise-to-us
    • 1) local government and central government are both just different parts of government 2) if anyone is stuck in the nightmare position of having an unsaleable £2m house in Dulwich, don't suffer in silence. Reach out to me - I'll buy it from you next week for £1m. The community is ready to rally around and support you! 🙏🙏🙏
    • Despite making over £500k gain for doing nothing other than living in the house I bought, this budget is barely affecting me at all.  Meanwhile I watch under 30s struggle to afford rent in shared houses while I look back to the happy days when us boomers could buy a two bed flat in East Dulwich on a single salary.  It's stupidly unfair, and the only way to make it fair will be for the government to redistribute some of this unearned wealth - otherwise, just wait till the angry Millennials get into power.  A property tax seems like the fairest way to do this.    p.s. I was expecting that the Government WOULD put up property taxes on houses like mine.  Maybe they will one day.  Seems fair to me.
