  • Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis/anterior limb of the internal capsule (BNST/ALIC) is successfully used for treatment of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Clinical and experimental studies have suggested that enhanced network synchronization in the theta band is correlated with severity of symptoms. The mechanisms of action of DBS remain unclear in OCD. We here investigate the effect of acute stimulation of the BNCT/ALIC on oscillatory neuronal activity in patients with OCD implanted with DBS electrodes. We recorded the oscillatory activity of local field potentials (LFPs) from DBS electrodes (contact + 0/− 3; bipolar configuration; both hemispheres) from the BNST/ALIC parallel with frontal cortical electroencephalogram (EEG) one day after DBS surgery in four patients with OCD. BNST/ALIC and frontal EEG oscillatory activities were analysed before stimulation as baseline, and after three periods of stimulation with different voltage amplitudes (1 V, 2 V and 3.5 V) at 130 Hz. Overall, acute high frequency DBS reduced oscillatory theta band (4-8 Hz; p  < 0.01) but increased other frequency bands in BNST/ALIC and the frontal cortex ( p  < 0.01). We show that stimulation of the BNST/ALIC in OCD modulates oscillatory activity in brain regions that are involved in the pathomechanisms of OCD. Our findings confirm and extend the findings that enhanced theta oscillatory activity in neuronal networks may be a biomarker for OCD.
