Study participants will be patients in a partial hospitalization program or intensive outpatient program for eating disorder.
The goal of this program is to test a brief, online, cognitive behavioral intervention for people who struggle with self-harm or suicidal urges or behavior in the context of emotion-related impulsivity.
The purpose of this study is to test whether nicotine, a drug that activates receptors called nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, improves the ability to make or withhold responses to faces that are either emotionally neutral or emotionally negative. This study will also test whether the drug affects brain activity while making or withholding responses using electroencephalography. Previous studies in people with schizophrenia have shown that more errors in response to negative emotional cues are related to greater likelihood of impulsive aggressive behavior. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine whether nicotine might be a new strategy to reduce aggressive behavior. The investigators' goal is 25 individuals with schizophrenia and 25 healthy controls to complete the study at Vanderbilt.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of 4-week SPN-810 treatment on brain functioning in patients aged 8-12 years with ADHD and associated feature of impulsive aggression (IA). This will be achieved using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in conjunction with the point subtraction aggression paradigm (PSAP) Task, a behavioral aggression paradigm in which subjects are provoked by having money indirectly taken from them by a fictitious opponent, simulating an aggression response.
