Hightlights
The group has maintained the development of different research lines in the field of metal disorders and some cross-diagnostic lines such as neuroimage or genetics.
In the field of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), the group has participated in several international consortiums sharing projects, publications and leading some studies. The group, and particularly the neuroimage lab, has had a role within the ENIGMA (Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta- Analysis) consortium in which our group participates in the OCD working group as well as within the International OCD Brain Imaging Consortium, which is oriented to the research on neuroimage with
groups from four continents. The group has kept the collaboration with other CIBER groups in the study
of compulsive behaviors that arise in gambling disorder and in the eating behavior disorders. Further, promoted by the ICOCS, it has been developed and published a proposal of standards of care for OCD units in which groups from the five continents have participated. Regarding deep brain stimulation, the group has contributed to the exploitation and interpretation of the data from the international multicenter trial in which the group has participated.
In the field of mood disorders, it has been kept a significant activity in collaborative projects and studies on bipolar disorder, whereas in unipolar depression the group has continued developing the Integrated Project of Excellence ‘Epigenetic and environmental factors bracing cognitive impairment and late-onset depression in elderly and early stages of Alzheimer disease’. The group has also participated in a national consensus on the use of electroconvulsive therapy further to organize an educational course biannually. Lastly, the schizophrenia research line has developed studies on the deficits in contrafactual reasoning in this disorder.
