Department of Psychiatry, VU University Medical Center and GGZ Buitenamstel, Valeriusplein 9, 1075 BG Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Psychiatry Res 132:225-37. 2004..The findings of the present study are consistent with the hypothesis of decreased frontal-striatal control of limbic structures, specifically the amygdala, resulting in an inadequate fear response in OCD patients with contamination fear...

VU Medisch Centrum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd 153:A252. 2009..In spite of this, none of the Dutch medical faculties has given the subject a permanent place in its curriculum. Gathering knowledge on the medical consequences of war depends completely on the efforts of individuals...
