serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have been found to be effective at reducing symptoms of OCD by increasing the amount of serotonin available in the brain.
SSRIs increase the amount of serotonin there is in the orbitfrontal cortex
selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
SSRIs block the reuptake of serotonin at the synapse
results of blocking reuptake serotonin
more serotonin will be available at synapse
results of blocking reuptake serotonin
increased inhibition of neural activity in post synaptic neurons
results of blocking reuptake serotonin
reduction in hyperactivity of neurons in the orbitofrontal cortex
