Prefrontal delta oscillations during deep brain stimulation predict treatment success in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the ventral capsule/ventral striatum (VC/VS) is a promising neurotherapeutic approach for severe and refractory cases of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Successful VC/VS-DBS treatment alters function in frontostriatal pathways important for the etiopathogenesis of OCD [1Figee M. Luigjes J. Smolders R.
