Healio (12/6, Demko) reports, “After conducting a meta-analysis of data from functional MRI studies, researchers found that patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder [OCD] showed hyperactivation in certain regions of the brain during error-processing and hypoactivation in other regions during inhibitory control when compared with healthy” individuals, researchers concluded after conducting “a large-scale meta-analysis of the existing literature” using “unthresholded t-maps from studies comparing patients with OCD with healthy controls during error-processing and inhibitory control.” In other words, “in OCD, the brain responds too much to errors, and too little to stop signals,” the study found. The findings were published online in Biological Psychiatry.
