aWhole-brain cluster-level correction. bSVC peak-level correction. Significant post hoc paired -test between pre- and posttreatment weighted contrasts. Groups: OCD: obsessive-compulsive disorder; SSRI: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors; CBT: cognitive behavioral therapy; HC: healthy controls. Direction of effect: ↑ increased activity, ↓ decreased activity.
