Abstract Objectives Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder with alterations of cortico‐striato‐thalamo‐cortical loops and impaired performance monitoring. Electrophysiological markers such as conflict‐related medial frontal theta (MFT) and error‐related negativity (ERN) may be altered by clinically effective deep brain ...

Evidence and explanation for the involvement of the nucleus accumbens in pain processing
The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is a subcortical brain structure known primarily for its roles in pleasure, reward, and addiction. Despite less focus on the NAc in pain research, it also plays a large role in the mediation of pain and is effective as a ...

Abstract Introduction Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for refractory obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). Neuropsychological assessment contributes to DBS treatment in several ways: it monitors the cognitive safety of the treatment, identifies beneficial or detrimental cognitive side effects and it could aid to explain ...

Sex differences in pre- and post-synaptic glutamate signaling in the nucleus accumbens core
Background Glutamate signaling within the nucleus accumbens underlies motivated behavior and is involved in psychiatric disease. Although behavioral sex differences in these processes are well-established, the neural mechanisms driving these differences ...
