Deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC) is an effective treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, without a clear anatomical stimulation target within the complex ALIC region, clinical benefits are variable and require long trial-and-error periods of parameter optimization. To facilitate ALIC DBS scalability and clinical implementation, we report a method for precision ALIC DBS targeting using patient-specific tractography.

AbstractAlthough neuroimaging has been widely applied in psychiatry, much of the exuberance in decades past has been tempered by failed replications and a lack of definitive evidence to support the utility of imaging to inform clinical decisions. There are multiple promising ways forward to demonstrate the relevance of neuroimaging for psychiatry at the individual patient level.
