Author: (Pippa) Pippa HollowayAnswer:
-Support from neurosurgery -Used to treatmental disorders eg: cingulotomy involves isolating the cingulate gyrus becuase dysfunction in this area may be the cause of OCD -Dougherty et al studied 44 ppl wiht OCD who had cingulotomy. Follow up, 30% met the criteria for successful resposne and 14% for a partial response -Success of each producedures strongly suggests that behaviours associted with serious mentla disorders may be localised.
