Scientists zap brains to unlock OCD's Decision-Making secrets
NCT ID NCT04075890
Summary
This study aimed to understand how obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) affects the brain's decision-making processes. Researchers compared 30 adults with OCD to 30 healthy adults using brain scans (fMRI) and a mild, non-invasive electrical stimulation technique (tDCS). The goal was to learn how the brain balances goal-oriented and habitual behaviors, which may be disrupted in OCD.
