Abstract
Importance: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common and often debilitating psychiatric illness. Recent advances in the understanding of the neuroscience of OCD have provided valuable insights that have begun to transform the way we think about the management of this disorder. This educational review provides an integrated neuroscience perspective on formulation and treatment planning for patients with OCD. The article is organized around key neuroscience themes most relevant for OCD. Observations: An integrated neuroscience formulation of OCD is predicated on a fundamental understanding of phenomenology and symptom dimensions, fear conditioning and extinction, neurochemistry, genetics and animal models, as well as neurocircuitry and neurotherapeutics. Symptom dimensions provide a means to better understand the phenotypic heterogeneity within OCD with an eye toward more personalized treatments. The concept of abnormal fear extinction is central to OCD and to the underlying therapeutic mechanism of exposure and response prevention. A framework for understanding the neurochemistry of OCD focuses on both traditional monoaminergic systems and more recent evidence of glutamatergic and γ-aminobutyric acid-ergic dysfunction. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is highly heritable, and future work is needed to understand the contribution of genes to underlying pathophysiology. A circuit dysregulation framework focuses on cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuit dysfunction and the development of neurotherapeutic approaches targeting this circuit. The impact of these concepts on how we think about OCD diagnosis and treatment is discussed. Suggestions for future investigations that have the potential to further enhance the clinical management of OCD are presented. Conclusions and Relevance: These key neuroscience themes collectively inform formulation and treatment planning for patients with OCD. The ultimate goal is to increase crosstalk between clinicians and researchers in an effort to facilitate translation of advances in neuroscience research to improved care for patients with OCD.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
