Neural biomarkers discovered for obsessive-compulsive disorderResearchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and Amsterdam UMC have identified what happens in neural networks deep within the brain during obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours. Using electrodes implanted in the brain, they observed how specific brain waves became active. These brain waves serve as a biomarker for OCD and are an important step towards more targeted treatments.
