Our new paper looking at whole-brain effects of DBS for OCD using fMRI is out for the holidays! We find that DBS suppresses DMN likely by interfering with white matter communication through ventral capsule. dx.doi.org/10.1002/hbm.70106

Therapeutic DBS for OCD Suppresses the Default Mode Network

Therapeutic DBS suppressed BOLD activity within a distributed circuit implicated in OCD, and many of the suppressed regions are components of the default mode network (DMN). Moreover, there was a...
