a. a system where the brain directly influences behavior and psychosocial factors but not the other way around.
b. an interaction where the brain affects psychosocial factors and vice versa.
c. a system where behavior and psychosocial factors impact the brain but not the other way around.

b. the patients' OCD symptoms improved without changes in neurotransmitter function.
c. neither OCD symptoms nor neurotransmitter function had improved.
d. neurotransmitter circuits are the direct and only cause of OCD.
