Altered brain functional networks in Internet gaming disorder: independent component and graph theoretical analysis under a probability-discounting task by Wang, Ziliang, Liu, Xiaoyue, Hu, Yanbo, Zheng, Hui, Du, Xiaoxia, Dong, Guangheng

“…Behavioral results showed the IGD subjects, comparing to RGU, prefer risky options to the fixed ones and spent less time in making risky decisions. In imaging results, the ICA analysis revealed that the IGD showed stronger functional connectivity (FC) in reward circuits and executive control network, as well as lower FC in anterior salience network (ASN) than RGU; for the GTA results, the IGD showed impaired FC in reward circuits and ASN compared to RGU. …”
