In current study, we use static and dynamic functional connectivity (sFC/dFC) to examine the connectivity alternation of bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) in medication-free patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) to clarify the neural underpinnings of OCD. We found that BNST demonstrated different connected regions in sFC and dFC, indicating that the combination between sFC and dFC can help to detect BNST network alternations in OCD in a more comprehensive way by considering both the static and time-varying aspects.
