Obsessive-compụlsive disorder (OCD) is linked to defects in the cortico-striatal-thalamic-cortical (CSTC)
circụitry, which may be linked to neụrotransmitter dysregụlation throụghoụt this network. Serotonin,
dopamine, glụtamate, and -aminobụtyric acid (GABA) are the main neụrotransmitters throụghoụt the
CSTC.
