TL;DR: Data indicate that OCD patients have a tendency to develop excessive avoidance habits, providing support for a habit account of OCD.

TL;DR: O OCD patients exhibited excessive habits that were associated with hyperactivation in a key region implicated in the pathophysiology of OCD, the caudate nucleus, suggesting that habit-forming biases in OCD may be a result of impairments in this system, rather than differences in the buildup of stimulus-response habits themselves.

TL;DR: A novel dissociation between confidence and action is demonstrated, suggesting a cognitive architecture whereby confidence estimates can accurately track the statistic of the environment independently from performance.

TL;DR: Obsessive-compulsive disorder patients exhibit a pattern of decision making consistent with a disruption in goal-directed forward modeling, basing decisions instead on the temporally present (and more rational) calculation of expected value.

TL;DR: Oxytocin appeared to normalize attentional bias in HSA individuals to levels seen in the healthy population in the baseline condition, which could indicate a potential therapeutic use of this hormone in treatment for social anxiety.
