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 />

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 />
