简要总结

This study is

  1. to investigate the differential and shared neural underpinnings of facial emotion processing within Conduct disorder (CD) and Autism-Spectrum disorder (ASD) and
  2. to investigate the interaction between deficits in emotion processing and dysfunctional cognitive control processes.

Differences in emotion processing and the underlying neural underpinnings of such differences will be assessed by means of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) without any contrast agent, combined with adapted emotion processing paradigms and eye tracking techniques.

入选标准

  • For all participants: age between 10 and 18 years and an intelligence quotient score of 70 or higher.
  • For patient groups: confirmed clinical diagnoses according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM)-5 of CD or ASD (depending on the group), without comorbid depression or anxiety psychological disorders.

排除标准

  • For all participants: low intelligence (IQ<70, as they might otherwise not fully understand what they are expected to do inside the scanner), insufficient German language skills or any contraindications for MRI (e.g. pregnancy, any non-removable metal within the subjects' body, claustrophobia).
  • For patient groups: severe developmental disorders, comorbid depressive and/or anxiety disorders will also be excluded from the study since it was shown that these patients might have problems in attention allocation under emotional stimulation.
  • For typically developing participants: suspicion of an undiagnosed clinical disorder

结局指标

主要结局

difference between groups (children and adolescents with CD, ASD and typically developing adolescents) in neural activity

时间窗: fMRI imaging Day 1

difference between groups in neural activity as measured by Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) signal during emotion processing using a priori defined regions of interest (ROIs) including the insula, amygdala, and ventromedial prefrontal Cortex in fMRI

次要结局

  • Emotion processing task (fMRI)(fMRI imaging Day 1)
