Opioid-blunted cortisol response to stress is associated with increased negative mood and wanting of social reward
(2022)NeuropsychopharmacologyAnimal research suggests a central role of the mu-opioid receptor (MOR) system in regulating affiliative behaviors and in mediating the stress-buffering function of social contact. However, the neurochemistry of stress-related social contact seeking in humans is still poorly understood. In a randomized, double-blind, between-subjects design, healthy female volunteers (N = 80) received either 10 mg of the mu-opioid agonist morphine sulfate, ...Journal Article -
Incomplete Contracting, Renegotiation, and Expectation-Based Loss Aversion
(2014)CEPR Discussion PapersWe consider a simple trading relationship between an expectation-based loss-averse buyer and profit-maximizing sellers. When writing a long-term contract the parties have to rely on renegotiations in order to ensure materially efficient trade ex post. The type of the concluded long-term contract affects the buyer's expectations regarding the outcome of renegotiation. If the buyer expects renegotiation always to take place, the parties are ...Working Paper -
Effects of acute administration of trimethylamine N-oxide on endothelial function: a translational study
(2022)Scientific ReportsElevated circulating levels of nutrient-derived trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) have been associated with the onset and progression of cardiovascular disease by promoting athero-thrombosis. However, in conditions like bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, RYGB), stable increases of plasma TMAO are associated with improved endothelial function and reduced cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, thus questioning whether a mechanistic ...Journal Article -
Auditory mismatch responses are differentially sensitive to changes in muscarinic acetylcholine versus dopamine receptor function
(2022)eLifeThe auditory mismatch negativity (MMN) has been proposed as a biomarker of NMDA receptor (NMDAR) dysfunction in schizophrenia. Such dysfunction may be caused by aberrant interactions of different neuromodulators with NMDARs, which could explain clinical heterogeneity among patients. In two studies (N = 81 each), we used a double-blind placebo-controlled between-subject design to systematically test whether auditory mismatch responses under ...Journal Article -

The Solar Orbiter mission: Science overview
(2020)Astronomy & AstrophysicsAims. Solar Orbiter, the first mission of ESA’s Cosmic Vision 2015–2025 programme and a mission of international collaboration between ESA and NASA, will explore the Sun and heliosphere from close up and out of the ecliptic plane. It was launched on 10 February 2020 04:03 UTC from Cape Canaveral and aims to address key questions of solar and heliospheric physics pertaining to how the Sun creates and controls the Heliosphere, and why solar ...Journal Article -
