3 patients were<br />
unmedicated<br />
20 patients were<br />

SRI-medicated<br />
vs. SRI-free fro at<br />
least 2 weeks<br />
14 OCD, 20 D<br />
and all SCH<br />
patients were<br />
medicated<br />
no difference WCST performance<br />
negatively correlated with<br />
symptom severity in<br />
females and positively in<br />
males – sexual dimorphism<br />
no difference<br />
from statistical<br />
norms<br />
in OCD<br />
no consistent association<br />
between shifting ability,<br />
verbal fluency, and memory<br />
scores<br />
impaired frontocortical dysfunction<br />
in OCD<br />
impaired executive deficit is related<br />
to comorbid depression<br />
impaired – only<br />
patients with<br />
high depression<br />
score<br />
the study of executive<br />
function in OCD must<br />
account for comormid<br />
depressive symptoms<br />
no difference SRI don’t have a significant<br />
impact on the WCST<br />
performance<br />
no difference in<br />
OCD; just D<br />
and SCH group<br />
vs. control<br />
need for more fine-grained<br />
tasks in the study of<br />
neuropsychological<br />
functions<br />
medication free impaired positive correlations were<br />
observed between<br />
nonperseverative errors and<br />
rCBF in frontal areas and<br />
anterior cingulated, while<br />
perseverative errors<br />
correlated negatively with<br />
all patients were<br />
under psychiatric<br />
treatment<br />
rCBF in the right thalamus<br />
no difference comorbid individuals<br />
haven’t demonstrated<br />
significantly lower<br />
performance, just a<br />
statistical trend could be<br />
observed<br />
