Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the connection between serum CART levels and internet gaming disorder (IGD), a condition that has become more common due to the growth of online gaming.
  • - Researchers found that individuals with IGD had lower serum CART levels compared to healthy controls, along with higher scores in depression and anxiety.
  • - The findings suggest that lower CART levels may indicate a higher risk for developing IGD, thereby positioning CART as a potential biomarker for the disorder.

Background And Aims: Impaired inhibitory control accompanied by enhanced craving is hallmark of addiction. This study investigated the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on response inhibition and craving in Internet gaming disorder (IGD). We examined the brain changes after tDCS and their correlation with clinical variables.

Background: With the continued spread of smartphones and development of the internet, the potential negative effects arising from problematic smartphone use (PSU) in adolescents are being reported on an increasing basis. This study aimed to investigate whether altered resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) is related to the psychological factors underlying PSU in adolescents.

Methods: Resting-state functional magnetic resonance images were acquired from 47 adolescents with PSU and 46 healthy control adolescents (the CON group).

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Arom Pyeon"

  • - Arom Pyeon's recent research primarily focuses on the relationship between neurobiological factors and behavioral addictions, particularly in the context of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) and problematic smartphone use.
  • - His study on serum levels of cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) highlights its potential role in the severity of IGD, indicating a connection between hormonal regulation and gaming addiction pathways.
  • - Another significant finding from Pyeon's work involves the application of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to improve response inhibition and reduce craving in individuals with IGD, suggesting a promising neurophysiological intervention for addressing behavioral addiction.
