About this Research Topic
OCD is a common and often debilitating mental disorder that affects approximately 2% of the population worldwide. Despite decades of research, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms of OCD remain poorly understood. Recent advances in neuroimaging techniques, however, have provided new insights into the neural correlates of OCD.
This Research Topic aims to highlight the latest findings in the field of neuroimaging and to explore their potential implications for the diagnosis and treatment of OCD, and provide a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and policy-makers interested in advancing our understanding of OCD through the use of neuroimaging. We welcome Original Research articles, Review articles, and Perspectives on the following topics:
- Neuroimaging biomarkers for the diagnosis of OCD
- Structural and functional alterations in the brain of patients with OCD
- The role of neuroimaging in predicting treatment response for OCD
- Novel neuroimaging techniques for studying OCD, such as connectomics and deep learning
- The ethical implications of using neuroimaging in the diagnosis and treatment of OCD
All submitted articles will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the highest quality of the published work. We encourage submissions from researchers working in the fields of psychiatry, neuroscience, psychology, radiology, and related disciplines.
