Neurobiology of sensory phenomena in obsessive-compulsive disorder

This project investigates brain function associated with sensory symptoms in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and their siblings using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Participants will have a comprehensive symptom assessment during one visit, and an MRI scan at the second visit.

Study Length:

2 study visits, with each visit taking approximately 3-4 hours, over the course of 1-3 weeks. The total number of hours will be approximately 6-8.

Disorder/Condition:

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Inclusion Criteria:

Men and women between the ages of 18 and 60 who have obsessive-compulsive disorder or have a biological sibling with obsessive compulsive disorder. Participants should be in good general health.
