Abstract EN

The authors review the history of obsessive compulsive disorder, over the last 6 centuries with emphasis on the biological aspects.

The study on thirty patients with primary obsessional disorder, showed abnormal E.E.G.

in 90% of the cases, the results of this study are discussed in the light of other studies about the biology of this disorder, the authors hypothesized that the possible biological basis of OCD, is that latent behavioural patterns stored in the basal ganglia are somehow triggered by abnormally Functioning inferior frontal lobes.
