Personality Questionnaire
Title of project:
Effects of NMDA receptor antagonism on cognitive processes in healthy volunteers and its reversal by a dopamine antagonist: comparison to patients with schizophrenia.
The research:
Three universities are aiming to improve our understanding of whether a highly effective and widely used medication can affect how participants perform a number of tasks known as biomarker assessments and to what extent a second medication can reverse these effects. The medications to be used in this study are Risperidone which is a marketed anti-psychotic, and Ketamine. Ketamine is a commonly used anaesthetic, but given here in much lower doses so you stay awake to view images and words. It causes a mild spaced-out feeling at low doses.
This study is being carried out at three centres, University of Manchester, Cardiff University and Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London. The research has been approved by County Durham & Tees Valley Research Ethics Committee Ref. 10/H0908/18
