Individuals with hoarding disorder (HD) show altered visuocortical reactivity in visual processing, with differences in amplitude observed in specific temporal regions corresponding to N1, P1/N2, and late negative slow wave (LNSW). This suggests that visual dysfunction in HD may be related to abnormalities in middle and later, rather than early, processing in the occipitotemporal visual cortex.
Individuals with hoarding disorder (HD) typically perform worse than peers on neuropsychological tasks involving visual perception. Functional neuroimaging shows diffusely increased activity in the visual cortex, consistent with inefficient visual processing in HD. The temporal locus of these inefficiencies in HD is unknown. This study examined the temporal unfolding of visual event-related brain potentials (ERPs) to help better define the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying visual dysfunction in HD. Thirty-three individuals with HD and 35 healthy controls (HC) were assessed using a 64-channel EEG during a modified flanker task. Permutation-controlled analyses were conducted to detect group differences in visual evoked ERPs on a millisecond-to-millisecond basis. Bayesian ANCOVAs and linear regressions that included hoarding and age were conducted to identify the best-fit model for the identified VEPs, compared to a null model that included depression and anxiety severity. Three temporal regions (175 ms, 270 ms, and 440 ms), showed differences in amplitude between HD and HC and were consistent with ERP components N1, P1/N2, and a late negative slow wave (LNSW), respectively. After controlling for depression and anxiety, HD demonstrated an enhanced ERP amplitude at N1 and an attenuated amplitude in LNSW compared to HC but did not show differences at P1/N2. For the N1 and LNSW, there was also a primary effect of the interaction between hoarding and age. This study indicates that altered visuocortical reactivity in HD first occurs at the level of visuocortical processing after 170 ms, indicating alterations of middle and later, but not early, processing in occipitotemporal visual cortex.
