Brain Region
Identified That Controls Collecting Behavior
By studying patients who developed abnormal hoarding behavior following brain
injury, neurology researchers in the University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A
Carver College of Medicine have identified an area in the prefrontal cortex that
appears to control collecting behavior.

Hoarders' Scans Reveal
Distinct Brain Signature
Recent positron emission tomography (PET) imaging
studies by scientists at the University of California at Los Angeles suggest
that the neurobiology of America's estimated 1 million compulsive hoarders
differs significantly from people with other
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms as well as healthy individuals.
The findings also suggest that hoarders might respond best to medications that
target particular brain systems. The study by Sanjaya Saxena, M.D., and
colleagues detected less brain activity in the anterior cingulate gyrus of
compulsive hoarders than in other OCD patients. This brain structure helps
govern decision-making, focused attention, motivation, and problem solving ?
cognitive functions that frequently are impaired in compulsive hoarders. The
study also found a correlation in all of the subjects with OCD between the
severity of hoarding symptoms and lower brain activity in the anterior cingulate
gyrus.

SRI
medication effective in treating compulsive hoarding patients 10/24/2006
In a paper
published on-line in advance of publication in the Journal of Psychiatric
Research, Sanjaya Saxena, M.D., Director of the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders (OCD)
Program at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine,
reports the surprising finding that the serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI)
medication, paroxetine, is effective in treating patients with compulsive
hoarding syndrome.
