Marcia Kimeldorf, PhD, Research Project Manager for OCD studies in the Anxiety Disorders Clinic will be the moderator

In this talk, Dr. Rodriguez will discuss how glutamate, the main excitatory chemical messenger in our brain, plays a role in OCD symptoms. Novel drugs thought to alter levels of glutamate are in development in our clinic and might hold the key to rapid symptom relief.
