Core Tip	This study demonstrated that group cognitive behavioral therapy (GCBT) reduced resting-state functional connectivity (rs-FC) within and between the default mode (DMN) and dorsal attention networks (DAN) in patients with unmedicated obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). These connectivity changes correlated with improved executive function, memory, and visuospatial abilities, suggesting reduced DMN/DAN rs-FC as a potential neuroimaging marker for predicting GCBT efficacy in OCD treatment.
