"Revolutionary Brain Maps Transform OCD Treatment with Deep Brain Stimulation"

Julia Hum, a 24-year-old with severe OCD, experienced life-changing improvement after targeted deep brain stimulation. Innovative research allowed doctors to more precisely target a dysfunctional brain circuit, leading to substantial improvement in her symptoms. By mapping nerve networks and adjusting deep brain stimulators, researchers saw significant improvement in three patients, including Hum. This approach, using data from a large number of people, shows promise for more effective treatment of neurological conditions like OCD.
