The project entails an imaging-genetics-environment paradigm in which the impact of (the interaction between) selected genes in the glutamatergic system (e.g. GRIN2B and SLC1A1 ), and BDNF and SAPAP3 – which may have an impact on white matter integrity and/or interact with this system – and childhood trauma, on white matter volume in regions of interest in healthy controls, cafeuni and patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or hair-pulling disorder (trichotillomania, or HPD), will be investigated. Ultimately, this project will render the opportunity for the candidate to collaborate with experts in psychodiagnostic interviewing, cafeuni genetics and neuroimaging, and related statistics, on a project aiming to relate imaging findings not only to genes and their expression, but also to environmental influences, which may be related to such processes, and to further our understanding of the brain.
