Il modello animale spontaneo: implicazioni per la fisiopatologia del Disturbo Ossessivo-Compulsivo
A spontaneously occurring animal model: implications for the pathophysiology of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

This paper reviews literature on the overlap between animal adjunctive behaviour and human Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Abnormal animal adjunctive behaviour is compared with behaviour related to human OCD and on these grounds, it is supported that the spontaneously occurring animal model is valid in studying OCD.
