Toward a neurocircuit-based taxonomy to guide treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder
Open accessAbstract
An important challenge in mental health research is to translate findings from cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging research into effective treatments that target the neurobiological alterations involved in psychiatric symptoms. To address this challenge, in this review we propose a heuristic neurocircuit-based taxonomy to guide the treatment of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). We do this by integrating information from several sources. First, we provide case vignettes in which patients with OCD describe their symptoms and discuss different clinical profiles in the phenotypic expression of the condition. Second, we link variations in these clinical profiles to underlying neurocircuit dysfunctions, drawing on findings from neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies in OCD. Third, we consider behavioral, pharmacological, and neuromodulatory treatments that could target those specific neurocircuit dysfunctions. Finally, we suggest methods of testing this neurocircuit-based taxonomy as well as important limitations to this approach that should be considered in future research.

“Indeed, clusters of individuals with neural network alterations have been identified in depression [7–8], psychotic disorders [9] and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD [10]).”

For the depression portion of the sentence, the ‘Types of neural circuit dysfunction underlying depression and anxiety’ section reports differing profiles of neural activation and connectivity. It says these variations *might* reflect multiple biotypes and conceptualises those biotypes for future classification; it does not establish that clusters of individuals have already been identified. The separate citations, not this paper, accompany the psychotic-disorder and ADHD portions. (LLM, conf=0.85)

The Results section, “Distinct Psychosis Biotypes Identified by Multivariate Biomarkers” (page unavailable), reports distinct groups of people with psychosis who differ in brain-function biomarkers. That supports the clustering claim for psychotic disorders, the part attributed to this source. The paper does not establish that the groups were identified specifically by neural network alterations; it used measures including cognitive control and sensorimotor reactivity. (LLM, conf=0.82)

The Results passage in the Abstract reports that decreased resting-state basolateral amygdala–vmPFC connectivity predicted better CBT outcome in patients with OCD. The cited paper does not establish that hyperactive fronto-limbic responses to OCD-provoking stimuli predict better response; its Introduction says fMRI findings on pretreatment frontal activation have been inconsistent.

“other research on DBS in OCD (and other psychiatric disorders) has highlighted that the efficacy of DBS in reducing symptoms may depend less on the gray or white matter stimulation target and more on the white matter networks affected by the stimulation [70–71]”

The Discussion (page unavailable) concerns U1 snRNP, transcriptome changes, and cancer-cell phenotypes, not deep brain stimulation. Searches for DBS, OCD, stimulation targets, and white-matter networks found no passage addressing the claimed relationship between network effects and symptom reduction. (LLM, conf=0.78)

The Discussion (p. 6) reports that stimulation closer to the medial forebrain bundle correlated with better OCD treatment response, whereas stimulation location relative to anatomical landmarks did not. This supports the importance of white matter pathways, but the study did not compare gray-matter with white-matter targets or establish the claim for other psychiatric disorders. (LLM, conf=0.84)

The Discussion reports increased reward-prediction-error signals in the ACC and putamen of patients with OCD during a learning task. It says these signals are influenced by the dopaminergic system and may indicate dysregulation, but the study did not directly measure dopaminergic signals. The citing sentence presents that inference as a reported finding. (LLM, conf=0.86)

“To our knowledge, no published work has incorporated patients’ subjective reports of their experiences of symptoms or considered specific treatment strategies directed at a range of clinical profiles and neurocircuit alterations.”
The paper relies on this without support.
There is no direct evidence linking sensory phenomena and habit formation to each other.
“It is important to note that while sensory phenomena and habit formation are linked to similar circuitry, there is no direct evidence linking these features of OCD to each other (i.e. no studies have reported that the transition from goal-directed to habitual behavior is more common in patients with prominent sensory phenomena than those with fears or negative thoughts).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-05, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-05 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
