What neural structures motivate humans to decide to “throw it all away”? Furthermore, the absence of reference in this paper to the research that you seek, and multiple statements concerning the absence (outside the context of 'hoarding') of research on the topic of acquisitiveness, are strong indicators that no such research exists. Finally, unless I missed something, this study makes no reference to the existence of compulsive disposal. |

What neural structures motivate humans to decide to “throw it all away”? I had read the abstract, and I just read the paper, which confirmed my prior appraisal. Contrary to your statement, I believe that the paper does not provide any information about people that dispose compulsively, since no such people were subjects in the study, if they exist at all. If you take the last paragraph of the discussion at face value, you will see that, at best, this study maybe provides an iota of information about 'disposal' in normal individuals. |

What is the bias/thought process that results in distrust of “formal” knowledge in favor of “folk” knowledge? I think either your understanding of the word "folk" is wrong in this context, or you've chosen an unfortunate word. What you are talking about is pseudoscience, which is different from the concept of folk science. |

What neural structures motivate humans to decide to “throw it all away”? Before I read the last sentence, I was going to ask you a similar question. But, let alone the DSM (which tends to be an exclusive document), are there any academic citations for the existence of, what you call, 'disposing compulsively'? If not, you may be looking for a biological explanation for a non-existent phenomenon, or at least one that isn't known to scientists. |

Neural networks with biologically plausible accounts of neurogenesis I notice that this question was asked a while ago. I would be interested to hear anything you may have come up with since then. |

Can neural spiking in an organism temporarily cease? @Artem Thanks Artem :) I look forward to being here. |
