Scientific titleInvestigating the neural basis of inhibition, set-shifting and monitoring in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and healthy volunteers
Study objectivesThe purpose of these experiments is to investigate the relationship between dysfunction in different but related executive processes including set-shifting, inhibition and monitoring in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Moreover, the study aims to clarify the precise neural substrates of the above executive functions currently conceived of s separate yet related.

To this end, a battery comprising of distinct yet converging tasks examining the three components of executive functions has been designed, specifically targeting set-shifting, response inhibition and performance monitoring. The design will contrast behavioral, blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) activation and brain structure between the ADHD group and its age and education matched control group and between the OCD group and its age and education matched control group. Each task will be analysed separately. The four groups will also enter into combined analyses to contrast the two patient groups directly.
