Our lab is conducting brain imaging research studies investigating people's behavior. We are looking for people between the ages of 18 and 65 to be study participants. As a schizophrenia study participant, you will be asked to complete a set of self-report questionnaires probing personality traits. You will also complete a number of computer-based…
In this study, we are trying to learn more about the symptoms of psychosis, specifically to learn how alterations in the brain may produce certain experiences (including voice hearing or auditory hallucinations) that are common in people with psychosis or schizophrenia. The study involves clinical interviews, computer tests, and magnetic resonance imaging (…
RESEARCH VOLUNTEERS: Healthy male and female (age 21-60) MARIJUANA SMOKERS needed to study effects of marijuana on brain activity and decision-making. The study involves 2-3 outpatient visits and a 5-day/5-night stay at the NYS Psychiatric Institute and includes Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans. Compensation for time could be between $870-$1230 (…
Our lab is conducting a series of research studies that investigate how specific brain regions are related to functioning in work, school, and in other social situations. As a study participant, you will be asked to complete clinical and neuropsychological assessments, an eye-tracking task, and a non-invasive MRI scan. Study participants earn between $15-50…
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The most important test to detect progression is visual field testing. However, this test is very subjective, often unreliable, and variable. One of the main causes of unreliable tests is the lack of attentiveness or concentration during the test. Previous studies have shown that listening…
Glaucoma is a given name of a group of diseases that affect the retinal ganglion cells in the eye and the optic nerve. Glaucoma cause degeneration of the retinal ganglion cells in the retina and their projections (axons) that form the optic nerve. Retinal ganglion cells and their axons transmit all of our vision information from the eye to the brain through…
This study plans to learn more about an investigational new drug called lumateperone tosylate (ITI-007) and may help us find new types of treatment for schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the brain wave patterns are improved after administration of CVN058 compared to placebo in subjects with schizophrenia. The study uses electroencephalography (EEG) to measure naturally occurring brain waves as you listen to recorded sounds.
The study is an outpatient treatment study of the safety and benefit of extended-release mixed amphetamine salt (Adderall-XR) in the treatment of individuals with cannabis use disorder and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The study is a 13-week trial and requires participants to come twice per week. The primary objective of the study is to…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of different doses and durations of TV-46000 given by subcutaneous (under the skin) injection as compared to placebo for use as a potential maintenance in adults with schizophrenia.
In this study, we are trying to learn more about the symptoms of schizophrenia, specifically to learn how abnormalities in the brain may produce certain experiences that are common in patients with schizophrenia. The study involves clinical interviews, clinical chart review, computer tests, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
This study is for patients with Glaucoma. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a study drug called Bimatoprost Sustained Release (SR) compared to treatment with eye drug Timolol. The Bimatoprost SR is an implant that is very small, is biodegradable (dissolves naturally in the body), and contains the bimatoprost drug.
