Cerebellar-mediated imbalance of multiple neural circuits in internet gaming disorder: A multi-voxel pattern and granger causality analysis
The study establishes the cerebellar lobule VIIb as the multimodal hub for IGD. The cerebellum mediates the imbalance of multiple neural circuits in patients with IGD, including visual-spatial dissociation, diminished goal-directed control, and habitual behavioral reinforcement. This finding elucidates the distinctive unique neural characteristics of IGD and provides a precise positioning basis for the neuro-regulatory treatment of IGD.
