Brain Chemical Imbalance Detected in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Source: Google News - HealthScientists at the University of Cambridge have used powerful new brain imaging techniques to reveal a neurochemical imbalance in the frontal lobes in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The study shows that the balance between glutamate and GABA—two major neurotransmitter chemicals—is "disrupted" in OCD patients. Neuroscientists behind the study say the findings, published in Nature Communications, will open up new avenues for...
