Question:

What is a strength of the neural explanation?

Author: (Pippa) Pippa Holloway



Answer:

-Reserach support to sugges that there is a link between the neural model and OCD which comes from twin studies -Menzies use MRI to produce imgaes of brain activity in OCD patients. Their brain images are compared to those of their immediate family memebers who did not have OCD (parent, sbilings, child) and a control group unrelated healthy people. -Found that OCD ppts and thier immediate family had reduced grey matter in key regions of the brain including the OFC. -Means that if an aduly has OCD, it can be assumed that their OCD may be passed down to their child meaning that the child could then themselves be detected for future risks of developing OCD
