Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>In each session participants will undergo a structural MRI scan and an fMRI<br /><br>scan whilst performing tasks. The main study parameter is the Blood Oxygen<br /><br>Level Dependent response (BOLD-response) in the threat regulation brain network<br /><br>during implicit and explicit forms of social versus non-social threat<br /><br>regulation. </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
