Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is linked to defects in the cortico-striatal- thalamic-
j j j j j j j j j j




cortical (CSTC) circuitry, which may be linked to neurotransmitter dysregulation
j j j j j j j j




throughout j j this j j network. Serotonin, dopamine, j j glutamate, j j and
-aminobutyric acid (GABA) are the main neurotransmitters throughout the CSTC.
j j j j j j j j




Compulsive behaviors linked to OCD are likely the product of a related dopaminergic reward
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




system dysfunction. Continuous ventral striatum activation may lead to an undirected expectation

of expectations.
