Functional disconnection task-related activity were used as seeds for connectivity analyses during resting state.

Response inhibition late cortex and basal ganglia regions. Compared with control subjects, patients with OCD showed increased
functional connectivity of the caudate nucleus with the middle cingulate cortex and precentral gyrus during
rest, suggesting hyperactive striatalcortical connections.
Conclusion: This study found altered function in fronto-striatal regions during response inhibition and its re-
lation to resting state functional connectivity in OCD. Our results suggest that dysfunctional striatalcortical
connections even during rest may result in the failure of response inhibition and error monitoring observed
in OCD patients.
