Patient 1 (left), patient 2 (right). (A) Multi-Modality Visualization Tool reconstructions of patient brains showing frontal and superior views of cortical surfaces, labeled subcortical structures, and deep brain stimulation (DBS) leads. (B) Clinical scores over time (days since lead implantation). Vertical lines (black) indicate when stimulation was turned on at each anatomic target; lines are initially dotted for patient 2 to indicate lack of data during that time, and color-coded dotted lines for each clinical scale indicate threshold for response to treatment. (C) Timeline indicating patient programming visits and use of event markers (by anatomic target) and surveys completed over time; four example power spectral densities (PSDs) are shown for select event markers and surveys for each patient. ERP, exposure and response prevention; GPi, globus pallidus internus; HAMD, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale; VC, ventral capsule; VS, ventral striatum; YBOCS, Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale; YGTSS, Yale Global Tic Severity Scale.
