Clinical Trial Summary

The main aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of orally administered Losartan on bottom-up and top-down attentional control to socio-emotional stimuli by combining a validated saccade/antisaccade eye-tracking paradigm with a randomized between-subject placebo-controlled pharmacological trial design.


Clinical Trial Description

Animal models and initial findings in humans suggest that the angiotensin II antagonist Losartan may have neuroprotective effects and could potentially enhance cognitive functions, including valence-specific attention and regulatory control. Within this context the present study aims to examine whether angiotensin II blockade via Losartan modulates top-down and bottom-up attentional control towards socio-affective stimuli. To this end, healthy individuals will undergo a double-blind, between-subjects, placebo-controlled pharmaco-eye-tracking experiment and receive a single oral dose of Losartan (50 mg) or placebo before performing a saccade/anti-saccade task 90 minutes after administration. The task paradigm will encompass social (happy, angry, fearful, sad and neutral faces) and non-social (oval) stimuli to examine general as well as social and emotion-specific effects of oral losartan. ;
