Low-frequency electrical stimulation to orbitofrontal cortex used to treat obsessive-compulsive behaviors

A team of researchers at Boston University has found that applying low-frequency electrical stimulation to the orbitofrontal cortex of obsessive-compulsive behavior patients proved to be effective in reducing such behaviors for up to three months. In their paper published in the journal Nature Medicine, the group describes osing the noninvasive technique to test its efficacy on 124 patient volunteers.
