Clinical Trial Summary

Measuring brain perfusion is biased by a inter- and intrasubject variability, caused by physiological and lifestyle factors. In this study, the investigators want to investigate the effects of a different mood state (neutral, positive and negative mood), induced using subjects own memories, on both global and regional cerebral perfusion, measured with arterial spin labeling.

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Cerebral Perfusion

Intervention

Behavioral:
• Mood induction (using own memories)
Subjects deliver three positive, three negative and three neutral memories 30 seconds reliving a memory - answering questions about the memory - reliving memory for 2 minutes during ASL-MRI

Device:
• Arterial spin labeling MRI
Single PLD PCASL
• Physiological monitoring
During MRI: heart rate, end-tidal CO2, respiratory rate and skin conductance

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Regional Cerebral perfusion (ml/100g/min) during positive mood induction	Effect of positive mood induction (using volunteer's own memories) on cerebral perfusion using arterial spin labeling MRI.	2 minutes (ASL scan during mood state induction)
Primary	Regional Cerebral perfusion (ml/100g/min) during negative mood induction	Effect of negative mood induction (using volunteer's own memories) on cerebral perfusion using arterial spin labeling MRI.	2 minutes (ASL scan during mood state induction)
Primary	Regional Cerebral perfusion (ml/100g/min) during neutral mood induction	Effect of neutral mood induction (using volunteer's own memories) on cerebral perfusion using arterial spin labeling MRI.	2 minutes (ASL scan during mood state induction)
Primary	Regional Cerebral perfusion (ml/100g/min) after positive mood induction	Effect of positive mood (using volunteer's own memories) on cerebral perfusion using arterial spin labeling MRI.	2 minutes (ASL scan after mood state induction)
Primary	Regional Cerebral perfusion (ml/100g/min) after negative mood induction	Effect of negative mood (using volunteer's own memories) on cerebral perfusion using arterial spin labeling MRI.	2 minutes (ASL scan after mood state induction)
Primary	Regional Cerebral perfusion (ml/100g/min) after neutral mood induction	Effect of neutral mood (using volunteer's own memories) on cerebral perfusion using arterial spin labeling MRI.	2 minutes (ASL scan after mood state induction)
