A step forward in elucidating the mystery of OCD

Sina Kohl et al. Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci. 2015 Dec.

Abstract

Obsessive-compulsive disorder represents one of the most disabling psychiatric disorders. The underlying pathophysiology is not fully understood. In a recent Science article, Ahmari and colleagues enlighten fundamental aspects of obsessive-compulsive disorder by means of optogenetic stimulation, thereby also elucidating the usefulness of SSRI in the treatment for OCD.

Keywords: Deep brain stimulation; Obsessive compulsive disorder; Optogenetic stimulation.
