简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the roles of dopamine and norepinephrine in decision making related to loss aversion in the healthy population. The main question it aims to answer is whether temporarily boosting dopamine activity or temporarily suppressing norepinephrine activity has an impact on processing of potential gains and losses in financial decision making, social decision making, transaction decision making and moral decision making. Accordingly, participants will complete four decision-making tasks, namely investment task, driving task, trading task, and die task, after taking madopar, propranolol or placebo. Participants' psychological traits and psychiatric symptoms will be assessed once they are enrolled before the first-session day.
