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

    • What worries me is all the talk of these foreign architectural styles.  Art Deco (French) and Art  Noveau (Belgium - can you even name ten famous poeple from Belgium),   Thank heavens for good old British Arts and Crafts, harking back to previous times.   What do you think those who are asset poor and cash poor may think?  Don't you feel there is a case for evening things out? Get real.  There are numerous anti-Labour threads and a few of you who clearly hate everything Labour, no doubt going back decades.  Not everyone of course who have posted on this weird thread has such strong views.   For balance there are a lesser number of threads on other political parties and a former prime minister, but they attract far less traffic, and one person seems to go out of their way to defend Farage
    • There is a possibility that poor air quality leads to adult onset asthma.  The Lancet did not confirm this and stated that more work was required.  10,000s of deaths are linked to poor air quality.  Surely it is good that our Mayor wants to further improve air quality.  That is the important aim, rather than pick holes in what he said.      
    • Anyone know what’s happening to the space where Megan’s was? Tried the qr code not still none the wiser.
    • There's an indicative map here of whi falls foul. Sevreal dozen in SE 22ml. I dont think this is up to date though. And by the time the government have done their "independent" valuations I think we can expect a lot more to fall into this tax trap.   https://taxpolicy.org.uk/2025/11/27/mansion-tax-map-where-the-money-comes-from/
