This lunchtime at Virtual Congress we have three incredible speakers talking on the latest #neurobiology in #OCD #RCPsychIC
We have Dr Sam Chamberlain, Dr Himanshu Tyagi @himanshutyagi, Susanne Ahmari @ahmari_lab, Dr Matilde Vaghi @matildevaghi talking today. And we begin with a history of OCD #RCPsychIC
Dr Himanshu @himanshutyagi discusses how OCD was treated in the 1970s and the teachings that had been advocated by Freud #RCPsychIC
We delve into the loops implicated in OCD pathophysiology and the projections from the cortex with @himanshutyagi #RCPsychIC
@himanshutyagi describes the overlaps in the brain between depression, OCD and tourette syndrome #RCPsychIC
Why is it important to talk about neurobiology of OCD? @himanshutyagi believes the serotonin hypothesis is not adequate and we must focus on the neurobiology that underlines repetitive thoughts and behaviour #RCPsychIC
Dr Susanne Ahmari @ahmari_lab takes over the talk with an excellent overview of how common OCD is and the kinds of loops people with OCD tend to get stuck in #RCPsychIC
Face-picking and being unable to look after their young, were behaviours seen in mice that engage in compulsive actions @ahmari_lab #RCPsychIC
Dr Matilde Vaghi @matildevaghi takes over the wonderful talk on neurobiology in OCD and reveals there is still a lot about the underlying mechanisms of OCD we do not know #RCPsychIC
@matildevaghi describes how handy a phone app can be for people with OCD as it is a way of measuring cognitive capability and decision making #RCPsychIC
We now have Dr Sam Chamberlain, Dr Himanshu Tyagi
@himanshutyagi, Dr Susanne Ahmari @ahmari_lab, Dr Matilde Vaghi @matildevaghi answering questions on medication, neurobiology and OCD #RCPsychIC
