In reply to Causes of OCD Rumination?, posted by Phillipa on January 30, 2012, at 10:08:48
OCD rumination is also known as 'worry'. Its a state the mind adopts when it feels it is in a low level of danger. Areas of the brain that seem to be involved are the prefrontal cortex and the nucleus accumbens. ALso the hypothalamus.
