Connectomic Deep Brain Stimulation for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Project Narrative Deep brain stimulation is an emerging treatment for individuals suffering from severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which is a common and disabling neuropsychiatric condition. To prepare this treatment for broad dissemination, we must build the knowledge and tools to enhance the precision with which stimulation is applied to individual brains. This research constructs a connectomic atlas for deep brain stimulation in OCD using the association of brain pathways and optimal behavioral outcomes.
