Fronto-striatal structures related with model-based control as an endophenotype for obsessive–compulsive disorder

Abstract Recent theories suggest a shift from model-based goal-directed to model-free habitual decision-making in obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). However, it is yet unclear, whether this shift in the decision process is heritable. We investigated 32 patients with OCD, 27 unaffected siblings (SI...
