Brief Summary

The proposed study involves experimentally manipulating reproductive hormones in nonpregnant, euthymic women to create a scaled down version of the changes that occur during pregnancy and the postpartum period. This endocrine manipulation paradigm, which the investigators have shown provokes irritability in past studies, will be used to examine the neurocircuitry underlying irritability under baseline and hormone challenge conditions among women who are hormone sensitive (HS+; n=15) and non-hormone sensitive (HS-; n=15). The long-term goal of this research is to advance understanding of the neural systems underlying both the triggering of and susceptibility to irritability in women. The objective of the current project is to examine whether HS+ show differences in the behavioral activation system relative to HS- under baseline and hormone challenge conditions using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and behavioral tests.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (12)

• Mean Threat Processing Bias During Visual Dot-probe Paradigm Over Time

  This outcome measure determines the extent to which irritability is characterized by dysfunctional threat processing during reproductive hormone challenge relative to baseline in HS+ and HS- by examining threat attention bias assessed during the visual dot-probe paradigm. The Visual Dot-Probe Paradigm asks participants to detect a target stimulus that is embedded in a matrix of distracting stimuli (e.g., a target stimulus, an angry face, might be embedded in a matrix of neutral distractor faces). Attention biases are inferred from faster response times to detect a threatening stimulus in a matrix of neutral stimuli relative to response time to detect neutral stimuli in neutral matrices. Thus, positive times reflect attention bias toward threat, whereas negative times reflect attention bias away from threat.

• Mean Right Amygdala-medial Prefrontal Cortex BOLD Connectivity During Implicit Emotion Face Processing Task Over Time

  This outcome measure determines the extent to which irritability is characterized by dysfunctional threat processing during reproductive hormone challenge relative to baseline in HS+ and HS-. By examining amygdala-medial prefrontal cortex (PFC) Blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) connectivity in response to threatening faces on the implicit emotion face processing fMRI task in HS+ (compared with HS-) during hormone challenge relative to baseline. The implicit emotion face processing task asks participants to identify the gender of angry, happy, and fearful faces at 50%, 100% and 150% emotion intensity presented in random order for 2000 milliseconds followed by jittered fixation. Trials appear in 3 blocks, generating 30 trials of each emotion at each intensity and 90 neutral face emotion trials.

  up to 6 weeks

• Mean Left Amygdala-medial Prefrontal Cortex BOLD Connectivity During Implicit Emotion Face Processing Task Over Time

  This outcome measure determines the extent to which irritability is characterized by dysfunctional threat processing during reproductive hormone challenge relative to baseline in HS+ and HS-. By examining amygdala-medial prefrontal cortex (PFC) connectivity in response to threatening faces on the implicit emotion face processing fMRI task in HS+ (compared with HS-) during hormone challenge relative to baseline. The implicit emotion face processing task asks participants to identify the gender of angry, happy, and fearful faces at 50%, 100% and 150% emotion intensity presented in random order for 2000 milliseconds followed by jittered fixation. Trials appear in 3 blocks, generating 30 trials of each emotion at each intensity and 90 neutral face emotion trials.

  up to 6 weeks

• Mean Reactive Aggression During Hormone Addback Over Time

  This outcome measure determines the extent to which HS+ is characterized by reactive aggression during hormone addback relative to baseline in the target population. Reactive aggression will be defined as the number of point subtractions the participant makes during the Point Subtraction Aggression Paradigm. Point Subtraction Aggression Paradigm measures relational aggression (approach behavior) in response to frustration. In the task, participants are asked to press a button to accrue money or press another button to subtract money from a (fictional) partner at no direct gain to themselves. Frustration is induced by periodic subtractions of their own money, which is attributed to the partner.
