The objective of this proposal is to investigate the involvement of specific brain circuits in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), selected from evidence from neuroimaging and neuropsychological studies, by examining their association with distinct phenotypes and their engagement as targets of two first-line treatments for this condition. We will characterize the phenotype of adults with…
The obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is the fourth most common psychiatric disorder and is related to significant disability, poor quality of life and disrupted family functioning. Despite the existence of effective therapeutic interventions for OCD (e.g. serotonin reuptake inhibitors and behavior psychotherapy), up to half of OCD patients do not respond satisfactorily with treatment. …
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) nas a lifetime prevalence of about 3%, and is associated with significant impairment in social, occupational, academic and family settings. The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the first choice pharmacological treatment for OCD. However, up to a third of patients do not present satisfactory improvement with this agents. Riluzole, an a…
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by obsessions (intrusive thoughts) and compulsions (repetitive acts), often associated with concerns about symmetry, patterns, and hygiene. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) allows noninvasive and real-time monitoring of cerebral blood oxygenation, making it an ideal device for detecting hemodynamic changes in situations suc…
Neurofeedback has emerged as a promising therapeutic intervention targeting central level adaptations in individuals with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) also presents innovative potential in the treatment of patients with OCD. This study aims to analyze the possible association of heart rate with the response to Neurofeedback interventio…
The project aims to show how the role of a scientific journalist can contribute tobring relevant content to the population's knowledge about the diagnosis and treatment ofobsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and, through informative actions, publicize theongoing research in the area and encourage people with OCD to participatevoluntarily from these researches. Particularly, we seek to pro…

Introduction: The literature on neuropsychological profile of children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is still quite scarce and inconsistent when it comes to data on the possible cognitive impairment in this population. The aforementioned deterioration relates to fronto-striatal circuitry, especially with regard to executive functions and nonverbal memory. Object…
Obsessive-Compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric condition with lifetime prevalence of 2-3%. When severe, OCD is completely incapacitating with devastating consequences for patients and their families. Although pharmacotherapy with serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRI) is an effective treatments for many patients, a subset experience minimal relief from their symptoms with this standard…
