Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by compulsions such as recurrent hand washing or checking. Behavior therapy and neurosurgical treatment are used to improve the symptoms. In behavior therapy, patients are exposed to the cues which induce symptoms and persuaded to stay in contact with the cues without executing compulsive behavior. In neurosurgical treatment, lesions are produced to the limited brain regions, such as the thalamus or the orbitofrontal cortex. In this report, we propose a computational model of OCD by applying chaotic neural network to the striatum, which is assumed to store the information related to compulsions, and explain the mechanism of these treatments.
