Registered outcomes4
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Hippocampal 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. |
| Primary | Hippocampal Activity (Arterial Spin Labeling [ASL] Study) After Placebo | 2 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. |
| Primary | Hippocampal 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. |
