OCD, addiction, and substance abuse disorder. By targeting the brain's "reward circuit" (the orbitofrontal cortex, Brodmann area 25, amygdala, etc.) and managing environmental and time of day ...

Circuits in the brain that are crucially involved in implementing decisions by directing between perseverance, exploration ...

Coordinates suggested a common brain circuit defined by negative functional connectivity to the right frontal pole. The circuit aligned with creativity changes seen in some neurodegenerative diseases.

Researchers analyzed data from 857 patients across 36 fMRI brain imaging studies and mapped a common brain circuit for creativity. A new study led by researchers at Mass General Brigham suggests ...

Current treatment strategies for OCD include medications such as selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs); however, some patients remain refractory to these therapies. Deep brain ...

Andrew Pines, MD, MA, a resident in the Department of Psychiatry at Brigham and Women's Hospital and a researcher in the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics, is the lead author of a paper ...

The circuits revealed in this study in mice may help to further understand a number of neuropsychiatric conditions including obsessive-compulsive disorder ... explore how the brain controls ...
