NeuroMAP Studies

LPS Study
This study aims to understand how activation of the immune system leads to depression in some individuals. The study involves exposure to a mild inflammatory stimulus, functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and clinical interviews.
  • Study Time: 4 visits/12 hours
  • Study Payment: ~$500
  • Study Involves: Immune stimulus, MRI, clinical and behavioral assessments
Fear Conditioning Study
This study is investigating the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation on how people learn and unlearn fear cues. Participants will perform behavioral tasks and receive 20-minutes of non-invasive brain stimulation over a brain area called the cerebellum. Phase 1 of the study will not involve functional MRI (fMRI).  Phase 2 will involve fMRI. 
  • Study Time: Phase 1: 2 visits /4 hours without fMRI; Phase 2: 1 visit/3 hours with fMRI
  • Study Payment: Phase 1: $95 without fMRI; Phase 2: $110 with fMRI
  • Study Involves: tDCS, clinical & behavioral assessments, fMRI (Phase 2)
Neural Basis of Interoceptive Dysfunction and Anxiety in Anorexia Nervosa
​This project seeks to discover how conditions such anorexia nervosa and generalized anxiety affect the brain’s processing of body sensations and emotional experience. The study involves:
  • Study Time: 9 hours over one year
  • Study Payment: $350
  • Study Involves: Questionnaires, MRI, pharmacological infusion, clinical and behavioral assessments

Healthy Volunteer Study

This study aims to better understand how the investigational drug ITI-214 affects brain function using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). 
  • Study Time: 5 visits/range of 2-6.5 hours per visit
  • Study Payment: ~$660-810
  • Study Involves: Investigational drug, MRI, clinical and behavioral assessments
