Abstract

Obsessive–compulsive disorder represents one of the most disabling psychiatric disorders. The underlying pathophysiology is not fully understood. In a recent Science article, Ahmari and colleagues enlighten fundamental aspects of obsessive–compulsive disorder by means of optogenetic stimulation, thereby also elucidating the usefulness of SSRI in the treatment for OCD.
