Healthy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Mechanisms of Individual Variation of Dextroamphetamine Effects in Normal Human Subjects
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the drug dextroamphetamine on the
brain function and mood of healthy volunteers.
Monoaminergic drugs are substances that affect the nervous system; these drugs can raise,
hamper, or have no effect on brain function when given to healthy individuals. Different
responses to a drug may be the result of genetic variations. This study will examine the
effects of the monoaminergic drug dextroamphetamine on thought and sensorimotor processes
while participants perform a variety of tasks.
Participants in this study will undergo a medical history, physical examination, blood tests,
and an electrocardiogram (EKG). Women of reproductive potential will undergo a pregnancy
test. Participants will be given either dextroamphetamine or placebo (an inactive solution)
on two occasions separated by at least 3 to 7 days. Participants will then perform
neuropsychological tests that will measure attention, problem solving, memory, and ability to
complete simple motor tasks.
Neuropharmacological intervention with monoaminergic drugs in healthy subjects can either augment, have no effect, or hamper brain function. We hypothesize that these population differences might be related to differences (high vs. low) in monoaminergic synaptic function which may be due to specific allelic variations in monoamine system genes (e.g., various synaptic proteins, synthetic enzymes, etc.). We wish to examine the effect of dextroamphetamine, a non-specific monoaminergic drug, on cognitive efficiency while subjects perform a variety of tasks including memory challenges with increasing cognitive load and varying rewards, selective attention and emotional processing. Further, in collaboration with other NIMH neuroimaging protocols, we wish to examine the neurophysiological correlates of these effects. We believe this protocol will provide a matrix for many investigations to elucidate important neurophysiological mechanisms that underlie normal cognition and cognitive efficiency. It is anticipated that these studies would be of potential 'pharmacogenetic' importance with regard to individual differences in the metabolism of monoaminergic drugs in normal health, aging and in disease. ;
