Abstract

An overview is provided regarding neuroimaging in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The author emphasizes convergent research results across various experimental paradigms and their implications for neurobiological models of OCD. The article concludes with an outline of future considerations that highlights emerging concepts and techniques. This work was intended to serve as a concise summary of the field, and thus to provide a springboard for discussion about this topic at the upcoming International Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Conference.
