About this study
The study of higher cognitive functions (learning, memory, language, reasoning, decision making) in humans constitutes an interdisciplinary field, which combines neurobiological and neurological, neuropsychological, as well as linguistic and artificial intelligence skills. Historically, the study of patients with cerebrovascular lesions or brain pathologies associated with primary and/or cognitive deficits has produced fundamental knowledge in this area. The development of modern non-invasive investigation techniques of the human brain - such as Structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Diffusion Tensor Imaging, Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Positron emission (PET), the study of event-related electrophysiological potentials (ERP) or magneto-encephalography (MEG) - has made it possible to carry out similar studies on healthy subjects, as well as the in-vivo analysis of adaptive and plastic mechanisms of the human brain. Recently, the interest of cognitive neuroscience - this is the name taken by this vast interdisciplinary sector which aims to understand the neural mechanisms underlying human cognitive processes - has been oriented towards the study of decision making in social contexts. Knowledge of the mechanisms underlying these processes is fundamental for the most complete description of the biological bases of human behavior and above all for the optimal development of treatments for brain pathologies, whether surgical, pharmacological or rehabilitation in general.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
behavioral study with neuroanatomical functional correlates consisting of cognitive activation experiments during functional magnetic resonance imaging (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Dec 2023.
