The study sample conducted by Fayad et al[33] corresponds to the follow-up of Goodman et al[16]’s study sample. Greenberg et al[36] conducted a multicenter study in which some patients from Fayad et al[33]’s study were included. The patients in the studies by Mallet et al[22] and Chabardes et al[29] are included in the STOC study. ALIC: Anterior limb on internal capsule; BNST: Bed nucleus of stria terminalis; ITP: Inferior thalamic peduncle; NR: Not reported; RCT: Randomized controlled trial; VC/VS: Ventral caudate/ventral striatum.
