Article Synopsis
- This study examines the neurobiological characteristics associated with gaming disorder (GD) and how they relate to depression and impulsivity among highly involved male gamers.
- Using fMRI, researchers investigated the brain's resting-state activity in 35 participants and found that greater GD severity correlated with changes in specific brain regions, including increased activity in Heschl's gyrus and decreased activity in the hippocampus.
- The results suggest that the hippocampus may play a mediating role in the relationship between depression/impulsivity and GD severity, shedding light on the brain's functioning in gamers experiencing these challenges.
