Notwithstanding numerous efforts, the success of the translation of neuroimaging knowledge to

the clinic has met only limited success. focuses on the identification of intermediate

phenotypes in neuroimaging data that may be useful in characterizing prognostic factors for

affective disorders. Among the most promising phenotypes that are being used in the group are

cortical and subcortical substrates

Ass.-Prof. Karin Labek uses functional imaging and EEG to investigate neural correlates of

psychic pain (loss, social rejection) and its relationship to personality structure and personality

disorders. This research addresses three goals. First, we pursue the development of paradigms

for modelling interaction processes using formalized economic games. Second, we aim to

experimentally disrupt the partner's cooperative behavior to examine responses to financial

losses associated with unfair treatment. In addition, individual differences will be assessed and

correlated with clinical variables (particularly those related to personality). The third goal is to

identify neural correlates by which different responses to critical life events can be assessed

("Research Domain Criteria" approach; RDocs).
