Changes of motor cortical excitability and response inhibition in patients with obsessive –compulsive disorder

Conclusion: These findings suggest abnormal cortical excitability in patients with OCD. The associations between cortical silent period and response inhibition and age of onset further indicate that altered cortical excitability may play an important role in the development of OCD.
