Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Identify if the mirror neuron system, or other networks, can compensate for amygdala dysfunction, using behavior and structural/functional MRI.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In the present study, investigators aim to investigate amygdala dysfunction \& potential compensation in individuals with high and low traits (e.g. Autism, Anxiety, Depression traits, Alexithymia), high and low stress or protective factors in the environment (social network, early life stress) and different molecular genetic make-up. On the neural level, functional and structural connectivity as well as task-related BOLD activation will be assessed.
