Altered hippocampal volume and functional connectivity in males with Internet gaming disorder comparing to those with alcohol use disorder

Abstract Internet gaming disorder (IGD) has been conceptualized as a behavioral addiction and shares clinical, neuropsychological, and personality characteristics with alcohol use disorder (AUD), but IGD dose not entail brain exposure to toxic agents, which renders it different from AUD. To achieve...
