Brain Signal Linked to OCD Compulsions Identified
Summary: Researchers have identified a specific pattern of high-frequency brain activity in the anteromedial orbitofrontal cortex (amOFC) that is consistently linked to compulsive behaviors in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).…
Neural Biomarker for OCD Identified
Summary: Researchers discovered a neural activity pattern that can accurately predict and monitor the clinical status of OCD patients undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS). The study highlights how this biomarker…
Depression recovery can be hard to measure − new research on deep brain stimulation shows how objective biomarkers could help make treatment more precise
It can be challenging to create a treatment plan for depression. This is especially true for patients who aren’t responding to conventional treatments and are undergoing experimental therapies such as…
