TL;DR: It is suggested that a transition from ventral to dorsal striatal processing may occur among individuals with IGD, a condition without the impact of substance intake.

TL;DR: Compared neural activation between 40 IGD and 19 healthy control subjects during an Internet-gaming cue-reactivity task and found that IGD subjects showed stronger activation in multiple brain areas, but lower activation in the posterior insula.

TL;DR: Individuals with IGD are impaired in some aspects of inhibition and decision-making functions, and that decision- making deficits under risk are linked to poor inhibition specifically related to gaming cues, which has implications for the development of novel intervention.

TL;DR: A key role of the insula in manifestation of the core symptoms of IGD is highlighted and the importance to examine functional abnormalities of the anterior and posterior insula separately in IGDs is highlighted.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that IGD is associated with abnormal resting-state neural activity in reward-related, default mode and executive control networks, and the CBI may exert effects by reducing interactions between regions within a reward- related network, and across the default Mode and Executive control networks.
