The middle frontal gyrus as a neural mediator between family relationships and internet addiction among adolescents with internet gaming disorder: a cross-sectional study
Family relationships are related to internet addiction in adolescents, and the MFG mediates this relationship. Additionally, the FC value from the MFG to the right insula in the IGD group is positively correlated with conflict. This suggests that the MFG may serve as a neurobiological marker through which family relationships influence IGD development in adolescents.
