Abstract: The extent of compromising planning as an executive function in pediatric obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is examined. Pediatric OCD is associated with frontal-striatal-thalamic dysfunction. In treating pediatric OCD, a self-paced pseudo-randomized event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging version of the Tower of London is applied.
