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! :)


This study has been approved by the King?s College London Psychiatry, Nursing & Midwifery Research Ethics Subcommittee (Ethics ID: PNM/10/11-160)

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
