Altered association of plasmatic oxytocin with affective stress response in alcohol use disorder

New publication in Translational Psychiatry by Annalina Mayer and team members! In this study we examined whether baseline plasma oxytocin levels are associated with stress responses in early-abstinent individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and compared them to healthy controls. While oxytocin concentrations did not differ between groups, their associations with affective stress responses diverged: […]

Initial expectations and confidence affect the formation of novel self-beliefs and their revision

Another long journey comes to a successful end with this publication!  Congratulations to Alexander Schröder for this great collaborative effort, which brings together Susanne Diekelmann (as part of the DFG-funded Research Group “Information abstraction during sleep”), Christoph Korn (University of Heidelberg; expert in computational modeling and belief updating), Lei Zhang (our group’s teacher and advisor
