Emotional Processing and Biomarkers Study

We are looking for healthy volunteers aged 16-35 years to take part in a study investigating how levels of certain proteins, so-called growth factors, influence how we process emotional information. The study involves one session of about 3 1/2 hours at the Department of Psychiatry in Headington, Oxford, including a battery of questionnaires and computer games and a small blood sample. The findings might ultimately help develop a simple blood test indicating the risk of developing anxiety in the future.
