Abstract:

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic disabling mental illness. Researches have revealed the abnormal connectivity of brain network. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (R-fMRI) is a powerful tool to explore the pathogenesis of OCD and other mental disorders. Seed-based analysis of interested region, independent component analysis (ICA), and graph theory-based analysis are popular methods to quantify brain network by R-fMRI data. This paper reviews current studies on connectivity of brain network of OCD by above methods and research progresses.

Key words: resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging, obsessive compulsive  , disorder, region of interest, independent component analysis, graph theory
