Abstract Literatures have shown that Internet gaming disorder (IGD) subjects show impaired executive control and enhanced reward sensitivities than healthy controls. However, how these two networks jointly affect the valuation process drive IGD subjects' online-game-seeking behaviors remains unknown. Thirty-five 36 controls underwent a resting-states scan in MRI scanner. Functional connectivity (FC) was examined within network seeds regions, respectively. Nucleus accumbens (NAcc) selected as...

Previous studies have suggested that physical activity may decrease academic procrastination; however, few explored the underlying mechanisms of how exerts an effect on procrastination. This study aimed to examine mediating effects self-control and self-efficacy in relationship between procrastination among Chinese university students. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used this study. The sample comprised 564 students from a Zhejiang, China. rating scale-3 (PARS-3), scale (SCS),...

The current study utilized functional near-infrared spectroscopy to examine the neural mechanisms underlying effect of referential and emotional information on novel word learning. After learning meaning words in different sentences, participants were asked complete a semantic consistency judgment task source task. behavioral data recorded simultaneously. results showed that: (1) affected learning; (2) interaction between was significant; (3) these effects associated with activities frontal...

Internet gaming disorder (IGD), defined as the persistent use of online games with ignorance adverse consequences, has increasingly raised widespread public concerns. This study aimed at elucidating precise mechanisms underlying IGD by comparing intertemporal decision-making process between 18 participants and 21 matched healthy controls (HCs). Both behavioral fMRI data were recorded from a delay discounting task. At level, showed higher discount rate k than HC; in group, both reaction time...

Two experimental procedures (cue-target and target-cue) were used in studying the processes of deception. How task will affect participants' performances is not clear. This study was conducted to investigate effect order presentation cue target on A face evaluation employed test compare deception-indicating stimulus deception (i.e., which research procedure more sensitive distinguishing different conditions likely represent process daily life). Behavioral responses event-related potentials...

Abstract Although online gaming may lead to Internet disorder ( IGD ), most players are recreational game users RGU s) who do not develop . Thus far, little is known about brain structural abnormalities in subjects relative s. The inclusion of s as a control group could minimize the potential effects experience and gaming‐related cue familiarity on neural mechanism subjects. In this study, magnetic resonance imaging data were acquired from 38 66 with comparable age, gender, educational...

Traditional studies tend to show that the N2 potential is an index for impulse control. Some researchers doubt related behavior suppression because control usually occurs in behavioral inhibition condition. This study investigates whether associated with successful of responses processes. We recorded event-related potentials (ERPs) while participants performed a go/no-go task (task 1) and variation reduced involvement during process 2). In 1, we found that, N2, higher mean amplitude shorter...

Internet search changed the way we store and recall information possibly altered our brain functions. Previous studies suggested that facilitates information-acquisition process. However, this process may cause individuals to lose ability recollect specific contents. Despite numerous behavioral conducted in field, little is known about neural mechanisms underlying searches. The present study explores potential activity changes induced by search. whole paradigm includes three phases, namely,...

Objectives Internet gaming disorder (IGD) is becoming a matter of concern around the world. However, neural mechanism underlying IGD remains unclear. The purpose this paper to explore differences between neuronal network participants and that recreational game users (RGU). Methods Imaging behavioral data were collected from 18 20 RGU under probability discounting task. independent component analysis (ICA) graph theoretical (GTA) used analyze data. Results Behavioral results showed...

The neural basis of parallel saccade programming was examined in an event-related fMRI study using a variation the double-step paradigm. Two conditions were used: one enabled second to be partially programmed with first while condition both saccades had prepared serially. intersaccadic interval, observed (PP) condition, significantly reduced compared latency serial (SP) and also single control conditions. analysis revealed greater activity (BOLD response) frontal parietal eye fields for PP...

The intending process plays an important part to the successful completion of many daily activities. However, few researchers have paid attention this issue. This study was set investigate time course and electrophysiological evidence with a cue-respond task.Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded while participants performing different cued conditions (deceptive, truthful, watch-only). analyzed through effect cue stimuli.The P2 component, that appeared between 200 400 ms after onset,...

Objective This study modeled win and lose trials in a simple gambling task to examine the effect of entire win–lose situations (WIN, LOSS, or TIE) on single win/lose related neural underpinnings. Methods The behavior responses brain activities 17 participants were recorded by an MRI scanner while they performed task. Different conditions compared determine activity participants. Correlations between calculated support imaging results. Results In trials, LOSS caused less intense posterior...

Abstract Background Impulsivity and decision-making are key factors in addiction. However, little is known about how gender time sensitivity affect impulsivity internet gaming disorder (IGD). Objective To investigate the difference of impulsive relevant brain responses IGD. Methods We conducted a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study with 123 participants, including 59 IGD individuals (26 females) 64 matched recreational game users (RGUs, 23 females). Participants performed...

Previous studies have found that the processing of repeated targets are easier than non-repetition. Although several theories attempt to explain this issue, underlying mechanism still remains uncovered. In study, we tried address issue by exploring brain responses during process. Brain activities were recorded while thirty participants performing a Stroop task (Chinese version) in MRI scanner. Using pseudo-random strategies, created two types switching conditions (easy-to-difficult;...
