Patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and
generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) are associated with
abnormalities in the processing and regulation of
anxiety as well as cognitive deficits. The purpose of
this study was to discriminate the brain activation
patterns associated with the anxiety-provoking
distracter during the working memory (WM) maintenance
for the human faces between patients with OCD and GAD,
and healthy controls by using a function magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI).
