Looking to recruit volunteers: earn £50 and help medical research

Hi all. I am delighted to make my first post here, about our exciting new research study at Kings College London, and funded by the Wellcome Trust. The study will look at the effect of the safe, natural hormone, oxytocin, on the brains of healthy people, and of those with mental health problems. We hope it will help us understand more about the brain, especially in relation to social behaviour.

Oxytocin has been given safely by nasal spray in studies for decades 

We are looking to recruit male volunteers for the study, which involves 2 MRI scans at the Institute of Psychiatry, on Denmark Hill, Camberwell. It also involves a meeting with a trained mental health professional (psychiatrist or psychologist) and completing some questionnaires. More information is available by contacting me at the email address below.

Participants will have a 'functional' MRI scan like this one

We are looking for adults who do not have a major mental illness, and who are not using illicit drugs at present. We especially need people who have not reached university level of education. We are also looking to recruit adolescents (12 and upwards) for another part of the study. Their parent guardian will be asked to attend meetings involved.

Volunteers will be paid £50 on completion of their involvement. If you are interested or know of anyone who would be, please contact me at john.tully@kcl.ac.uk.
