BIOLOGICAL MEASURES

生物测量核心的主要目标是为生物测量提供技术支持 该中心的研究项目所需的措施。生物学有三门课 这一核心将支持的措施：心理生理学方法、激素分析和成像。 成像部分将包括MRI(用于项目1、4和5)和MicroPET(用于非人类 灵长类项目，项目1)。核心的神经成像部分将负责维护成像 协议，执行成像扫描仪性能和图像数据质量的定期评估， 评估数据采集和分析的新方法，并管理成像、激素、 该项目获得的行为、心理生理和临床措施。荷尔蒙检测包括 唾液和血液皮质醇，脱氢表雄酮和睾酮，促肾上腺皮质激素释放激素和促肾上腺皮质激素。心理生理学测量 包括脑电、情绪调节惊吓和心血管测量。

The main objective of the Biological Measures Core is to provide technical support for the biological measures that are necessary for the research projects in the Center. There are three classes of biological measures that will be supported by this Core: psychophysiological methods, hormonal assays, and imaging. The imaging component will include both MRI (for Projects 1, 4, and 5) and microPET (for the non-human primate project, Project 1). The neuroimaging portion of the Core will be responsible for maintaining imaging protocols, performing regular evaluations of imaging scanner performance and image data quality, evaluating new methods for data acquisition,and analysis, and managing a database of imaging, hormonal, behavioral, psychophysiological, and clinical measures obtained by the project. Hormonal assays include salivary and blood cortisol, DHEA and testosterone, and CRF and ACTH. Psychophsysiologic measures include EEG, emotion-modulated startle and cardiovascular measures.
