Here we aimed to consider the neural factors associated with internet gaming disorder (IGD), as well as the associations between these factors and existing treatments for the disorder.
A narrative review was conducted.
Pharmacological as well as psychological treatments for IGD may be associated with specific changes in multiple brain areas and circuits. In particular, fronto-striatal and subcortical regions and pathways appear relevant to IGD and its treatment.
Neuroimaging holds promise for identifying specific mechanisms underlying IGD interventions. However, to date, firm conclusions are difficult to draw and more research examining neural mechanisms of empirically supported treatments for IGD is needed.
我们旨在探讨与网络游戏障碍(IGD)相关的神经因素,以及这些因素与该障碍现有治疗方法之间的关联。
进行了一项叙述性综述。
IGD的药物治疗和心理治疗可能与多个脑区和神经回路的特定变化有关。特别是,额纹状体和皮质下区域及通路似乎与IGD及其治疗相关。
神经影像学有望识别IGD干预背后的特定机制。然而,迄今为止,难以得出确凿结论,需要更多研究来检验IGD循证治疗的神经机制。
