“…Overall, studies reporting a P300 amplitude reduction in OCD are thirteen ( 20 , 28 , 45 , 51 , 54 , 55 , 59 , 64 , 65 , 67 , 68 , 70 , 72 ), including the result of a P300 alteration at the F7 location in patients with functional constipation within a probable OCD ( 65 ). Conversely, we counted eight studies reporting enhanced P300 amplitude in OCD patients compared to normal controls ( 50 , 52 , 58 , 61 – 63 , 66 , 69 ), a finding that was considered as an electrophysiological correlate of an OCD trait and indicating an increased propensity to be aroused ( 50 , 77 ).…”
