TLDR
This first functional imaging study to investigate explicitly reward circuitry in OCD shows attenuated reward anticipation activity in the nucleus accumbens compared with healthy control subjects, and supports the conceptualization of OCD as a disorder of reward processing and behavioral addiction.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of the Supplementary Motor Area in the Treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Multi-Site Study

TL;DR: RTMS appeared to significantly improve the OCD symptoms of the treated patients beyond the treatment window, and more studies need to be conducted to determine the generalizability of these findings and to define the duration of rTMS’ clinical effect on the Y-BOCS.
Journal ArticleDOI

In medication-overuse headache, fMRI shows long-lasting dysfunction in midbrain areas.

TL;DR: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate if a group of medication‐overuse headache patients present dysfunctions in the mesocorticolimbic dopamine circuit and to investigate their persistence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Four Deep Brain Stimulation Targets for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Are They Different?

TL;DR: A review of the similarities and differences across targets, and the accuracy of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging tractography to replicate those connections in nonhuman primates, shows that the four targets generally involve similar connections, all of which are part of the internal capsule.

A rating scale for depression

TL;DR: The present scale has been devised for use only on patients already diagnosed as suffering from affective disorder of depressive type, used for quantifying the results of an interview, and its value depends entirely on the skill of the interviewer in eliciting the necessary information.

The Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I.) : The development and validation of a Structured Diagnostic Psychiatric Interview for DSM-IV and ICD-10

TL;DR: The Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview is designed to meet the need for a short but accurate structured psychiatric interview for multicenter clinical trials and epidemiology studies and to be used as a first step in outcome tracking in nonresearch clinical settings.

The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale: I. Development, Use, and Reliability

TL;DR: In a study involving four raters and 40 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder at various stages of treatment, interrater reliability for the total Yale-Brown Scale score and each of the 10 individual items was excellent, with high degree of internal consistency among all item scores demonstrated with Cronbach's alpha coefficient.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mini international neuropsychiatric interview

TL;DR: The results are interpreted as a support for the hypothesis that language-related brain functions are deficient in subgroups of schizophrenia and might be associated with compensatory contralateral activation.

The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale: II. Validity

TL;DR: Results from a previously reported placebo-controlled trial of fluvoxamine in 42 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder showed that the Yale- Brown Scale was sensitive to drug-induced changes and that reductions in Yale-Brown Scale scores specifically reflected improvement in obsessive- compulsive disorder symptoms.
