22:45 - 29:00 (06:14)
The prefrontal and orbital frontal cortex are consistently implicated in patients with OCD when studying the disorder through imaging or invasive electrode techniques. These regions are involved with compulsive behaviors such as washing or cleaning that are characteristic of OCD.
