Abstract

Background This study aims to investigate brain gray matter density GMD changes in adolescents with Internet addiction IA using voxel-based morphometry VBM analysis on high-resolution T1-weighted structural magnetic resonance images.Methods Eighteen IA adolescents and 15 age- and gender-matched healthy controls took part in this study. High-resolution T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scans were performed on the two groups. VBM analysis was used to compare the GMD between the two groups.Results Compared with healthy controls, IA adolescents had lower GMD in the left anterior cingulate cortex, left posterior cingulate cortex, left insula, and left lingual gyrus.Conclusions Our findings suggested that brain structural changes were present in IA adolescents, and this finding may provide a new insight into the pathogenesis of IA.
