or will the ocd win? dr.ldren like her will conquer it. his team at wayne state and the dmc children's hospital of michigan is on the front lines of this fight against child anxiety and ocd. in a groundbreaking study looking at the mris of children who have ocd, they can actually see it. so these are all mris of children with ocd? >> exactly right. >> reporter: they're convinced there's a genetic component here, and that much of this comes down to the amount of a certain chemical in the brain. in a child who has ocd, you see something in the brain. >> there's too little glutamate in certain areas of the brain, there's too much glutamate in other areas of the brain. >> reporter: the doctor says glutamate controls the brain's light switch. and when the balance is off, the switch short-circuits. so the part of brain that gives most of us the all clear when we're worried never gives the child that all-clear. >> and instead of getting the signal that "okay, i'm safe now," children with ocd get the signal that thin

so these are all mris of children with ocd? exactly right. >> reporter: they're convinced it's triggered in part by the chemical glutamate, in the child's brain. in a child who has ocd, you see something in the brain. either too little or too much glutamate? >> we see both. there's too little glutamate in certain areas of the brain. there's too much glutamate in other areas of the brain. >> reporter: and just this last week, the team revealing they can often pinpoint the type of ocd by looking at the mri. we're in a room full of all different scans. he can point to the one that is most likely rocco's. so this is rocco. >> that's more likely to be rocco. >> reporter: that's incredible. armed with this new science, we went back to find rocco and all of those other children and we were stunned by what we found. hey, rocco. >> david, how you been? >> reporter: you're all grown up. good to see you. >> you, too. it's like we were here yesterday, right? >> reporter: he got me a ticket this time. still on the journey since that video o
