>Its fine to have a healthy skepticism of things -- I just happen to differ and I know that these imaging projects and the era, about 10-12 years ago that they were in was a groundbreaking discovery for the population suffering from OCD, which is a lifetime brain disorder, though one can manage it quite well (usually) with behaviour therapy. Tourette's is related as well though its harder to manage as is pure obsessions (garbage thought). I know this personally (OCD that is.)
You can study more about it if you wish at the OC Foundation
