•Widespread neural dysfunction of extended CSTC circuitry is observed in OCD.•Dysfunctional regions spanning the frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal and limbic cortex are found in OCD by ALE.•The OFC, ACC, MOG and caudate body may be involved in potential neural basis of washing symptom in OCD.•The potentially distinct neural circuits may underlie the symptoms and potentially etiological subtypes of OCD.
