Registered outcomes4

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryHippocampal Activity (Arterial Spin Labeling [ASL] Study) After Levetiracetam (LEV)2 hours after LEV administration
ASL signal after LEV, using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning of the brain. ASL measures cerebral blood flow, which is linked to neuronal metabolism and functions as a proxy for neuronal activity.
PrimaryHippocampal Activity (Arterial Spin Labeling [ASL] Study) After Placebo2 hours after placebo administration
ASL signal after placebo, using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning of the brain. ASL measures cerebral blood flow, which is linked to neuronal metabolism and functions as a proxy for neuronal activity.
PrimaryHippocampal Recruitment (Blood-Oxygen-Level-Dependent [BOLD] Study) After Levetiracetam (LEV)2 hours after LEV administration
BOLD signal after LEV, using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning of the brain. This method reflects changes in oxygenation of blood in the brain during a scene-processing task that engages, or recruits, the hippocampus.
PrimaryHippocampal Recruitment (Blood-Oxygen-Level-Dependent [BOLD] Study) After Placebo2 hours after placebo administration
BOLD signal after placebo, using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning of the brain. This method reflects changes in oxygenation of blood in the brain during a scene-processing task that engages, or recruits, the hippocampus.

PRIMARYHippocampal Activity (Arterial Spin Labeling [ASL] Study) After Levetiracetam (LEV)2 hours after LEV administration
The overall number of participants analyzed is inconsistent with the numbers provided in the participant flow module due to MRI scanner or participant error during the collection of the ASL sequence. However, these participants still included useful imaging data collected in other imaging sequences during the study.
