What we saw in the apartment Miserly Knight in a skirt? "Her two-bedroom apartment, including kitchen was filled with from floor to ceiling old, obsolete, broken things: radios, sewing machines, refrigerators, washing machines, prams, bicycles, boxes and boxes of different sizes and modifications. The apartment could only crawl through a narrow hole tunnel and it could accessible only to the rookery hostess (it's called the bed was hard). For many years, with maniacal persistence and perseverance, this patient was a woman picking at night with all the neighboring garbage dumps discarded things and have scored "this junk my apartment." People want in life to, to do what they consider good, and to ensure that the call as much as possible things their own "(Leo Tolstoy). The first studies of the brain of people suffering syndrome" Plyushkin "were held at the University of California (University of California), which revealed the activity of "zones of parsimony, this zone was found in the frontal lobe of the brain near the" zone of conscience. "Pathological hoarding, painful avarice - these disorders on clinical signs attributed to anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. But this activity brain syndrome "Plyushkin" differed from the activity areas of the brain, which is observed in the total group of patients with anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder.

In all 13 subjects revealed damage to the right side of the frontal lobe of the brain. In the control group there was no such damage. Specializes in anxiety disorders, Naomi Fineberg (Naomi Fineberg) notes that these studies indicate that pripryatyvanie things may have a different nature than other types of anxiety disorders, and can help in finding treatment for this condition. However, Professor Paul Salkovskis (Paul Salkovskis) of the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London (Institute of Psychiatry at King's College, London), which received data does not prove that the disorder caused by brain damage. According to him, to help such patients can only psychotherapy.
