Title | Similarities and differences in working memory and neurometabolism of obsessive-compulsive disorder and major depressive disorder |
Overall design | The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of working memory and neurometabolic changes in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder and major depressive disorder. A total of 32 unmedicated MDD patients (MDD group) and 33 healthy controls (control group) were included. All subjects underwent protons magnetic resonance spectroscopy to collect neurometabolic ratios of N-acetyl aspartate and choline-containing compounds in the prefrontal cortex and lentiform nucleus. Metabolite quantification was reported relative to total creatine as the reference peak. |
