Category Learning Retention in Adults With and Without Developmental Language Disorder
Recruiting
Approximately 7% of the population experiences developmental language disorder (DLD), a language disorder with unclear causes. DLD affects communication beyond adolescence and poses challenges for education and career advancement due to difficulties in learning and memory. Recent research suggests that adults with DLD struggle with overnight memory consolidation, indicating a need for effective learning and memory support. This project aims to determine the optimal training schedule for perceptu... Read More

Oral Buprenorphine as a Novel Low-dose Induction Strategy for Opioid Use Disorder
Recruiting
This is a human laboratory-based, randomized, cross-over study in which buprenorphine will be administered to healthy volunteers (n=22) in 3 separate inpatient 2-night visits, at least 1 week apart. At each visit, the participant will receive a single dose buprenorphine, either 0.15mg IV, 8mg PO, or 16mg PO. The order for the first dose administered will be fixed to the IV dose, and the subsequent doses will be randomized and counterbalanced to 8mg or 16mg PO. Participants will be given naltrexo...

Rescue Pharmacotherapy for OSA
Recruiting
Persistent obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in people treated with mandibular advancement device (MAD) or hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS). For most patients, these treatments are the last line of defense. If MAD or HGNS do not work, then patients are left to suffer the consequences of undertreated OSA. In this study, the investigators want to test the addition of a drug treatment to their regimen. Endotypes will be targeted pharmacologically with one of the following drugs: acetazola... Read More
