Hoarding disorder (HD) is a challenging psychiatric condition marked by an inability to discard unnecessary possessions, leading to clutter and significant impairment. Recent MRI advancements provide insights into the disorder's neurobiological basis, revealing hyperactivity in the anterior cingulate gyrus and insula during decision-making tasks related to personal items. Structural abnormalities in white matter tracts indicate disrupted neural connectivity. Notably, cognitive-behavioral therapy has been shown to promote adaptive neural responses in various brain regions for individuals affected by HD.
Recent advancements in neuroimaging techniques such as MRI have deepened our understanding of the neurobiological underpinnings of hoarding disorder, highlighting critical areas of brain activation.
Hoarding disorder is characterized by hyperactivity in the anterior cingulate gyrus and insula during decision-making tasks, reflecting difficulties in emotional regulation.
