title: [Ethology and obsessive-compulsive disorder].
abstract: Ethology and the use of animal models can be a fruitful road to clarify different neurobiological mechanisms taking part in the obsessive-compulsive disorder. The author hereby describes some of the animal models more cited in literature, and makes reference to hypothesis linking the biological mechanisms of the obsessive-compulsive disorder with those that would take part in the establishment of affiliation bonds among members of the same species.
