CONFERENCE ABSTRACT Neurosciences of OCD
(NoOCD): A Brain based clinical intervention
There is an increased evidence of
widespread structural and functional brain
alterations in OCD patients that go beyond the
classical model of abnormalities in
cortico-striatal-thalamo-cortical loop. These
alterations may help with the understanding of
the pathophysiology associated with a variety of
symptoms and endophenotypes in OCD. Building on
current findings and the speaker’s research
program, this presentation will show evidence of
functional and structural alterations in OCD
that may contribute to th OCD behavioral,
cognitive and affective phenotype. Clinical
implications will be drawn from current
neuroscience research with OCD patients.
