Patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) will be invited to participate in this research study. Participants will be assigned to take one of the following: brexpiprazole, sertraline (also known as “Zoloft”; a marketed antidepressant that has been approved by the United States FDA for the treatment of PTSD), placebo (a …
The University of Pennsylvania seeks young adults ages 18-28 for a research study. The purpose of this study is to use different types of MRI scans to find individualized TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) targets and compare how the brain responds. We are also interested in using TMS during a working …
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive mechanism for stimulating brain regions in humans. TMS can potentiate or inhibit activity in various brain regions, and it allows researchers to exert causal control to explore and define network connectivity among brain regions. Using real-time brain readouts combined with interleaved TMS/fMRI, we …
The longstanding view has been that insomnia, and other forms of sleep disturbance, emerge as a consequence of dementia and are the result of progressive neuronal damage. However, there is growing evidence that the direction of causation may go both ways, with sleep disturbance potentially increasing vulnerability to dementia. Longitudinal …
