Stimulus-related oscillatory brain activity discriminates hoarding disorder from OCD and healthy controls.

Hoarding disorder (HD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are highly comorbid and genetically related, but their similarities and differences at the neural level are not well characterized. The present study examined the time-frequency information contained in stimulus-related EEG data as participants worked on a visual flanker task. Three groups were included: participants diagnosed with HD (N = 33), OCD (N = 26), and healthy controls (N = 35).
