Internet Gaming Addiction: A Systematic Review of Empirical Research (2012, methodology): “In total, seven such studies were identified (Cultrara and Har-El 2002; Dworak et al. 2007; Han et al. 2010; Hoeft et al. 2008; Ko et al. 2009; Thalemann et al. 2007).”
Internet Addiction or Excessive Internet Use (2010, methodology): “Internet addiction and impulsivity were associated with adult ADHD, and the association between attention deficit and Internet addiction was more significant among female Taiwanese college students (42).”
Dysfunction of the prefrontal cortex in addiction: neuroimaging findings and clinical implications (2011, neutral): “For example, young males who played internet games for over 30 hours a week showed BOLD activations in OFC, ACC, medial PFC and DLPFC when viewing pictures of the game, and these activations were correlated with the urge to pla”
Integrating Technology Addiction and Use: An Empirical Investigation of Online Auction Users (2011, background): “In addition to the neurobehavioral (Ko et al. 2009), psychological and sociological (Hur 2006) perspectives that may explain the level of addiction, it is probable that some types of products purchased by means of online auctions may be more conducive towards the development of addiction.”
An Overview of Problematic Gaming (2015, background): “…gambling (significant activation in the left occipital lobe, parahippocampal gyrus, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, nucleus accumbens, right orbitofrontal cortex, bilateral anterior cingulate, medial frontal cortex, and the caudate 11 nucleus (Hoeft et al., 2008; Ko et al., 2009; Han et al., 2010).”
Internet Gaming Disorder (2018, positive): “Functional magnetic resonance imaging studies have shown that addicted gamers have similar brain activity to substance abusers when it comes to cravings associated with their addictions [14].”
Ethics of the Attention Economy: The Problem of Social Media Addiction (2020, background): “Second, functional neuroimaging studies have shown that the same areas of the brain that are active in other substance and behavioral addictions are active in the brains of those who meet the diagnostic criteria for internet addiction (Brand, Young, & Laier, 2014; Han, Bolo, Daniels, Arenella, Lyoo,”
Online Social Networking and Addiction—A Review of the Psychological Literature (2011, background): “On a neuroanatomical level, the appetitive system has been found to be activated in Internet game overusers and addicts [29,30], which may be linked back to a genetic deficiency in the addicts’ neurochemical reward system [31].”
Video Game Addiction: Past, Present and Future (2012, methodology): “Through use of fMRI, biological research has shown that gaming addicts show similar neural processes and increased activity in brain areas associated with substance-related addictions and other behavioral addictions, such as pathological gambling (significant activation in the left occipital lobe, p”
Introduction to Behavioral Addictions (2010, background): “Game cue-associated brain activation in Internet gaming addicts occurs in the same brain regions (orbitofrontal, dorsolateral prefrontal, anterior cingulate, nucleus accumbens) as with drug cue-associated brain activation in drug addicts (51) (see also Weinstein and Lejoyeux, this issue).”
Consequences of Play: A Systematic Review of the Effects of Online Gaming (2012, methodology): “…et al. 2006; Williams 2006; Eastin and Griffiths 2006; Ang et al. 2006); three studies from 2007 (Grüsser et al. 2007; Wei 2007; Smyth 2007); three studies from 2008 (Hussain and Griffiths 2008; Kim et al. 2008; Peters and Malesky 2008); and two from 2009 (Ko et al. 2009; Hart et al. 2009).”
The association between Internet addiction and psychiatric disorder: A review of the literature (2012, background): “For example, Ko and colleagues found that brain activation of a cue-induced gaming urge was similar to that in substance craving [32].”
Clinical and Personality Correlates of MMO Gaming (2013, background): “There has been a proliferation of studies examining ‘‘Internet addiction,’’ ‘‘compulsive Internet use,’’ ‘‘Internet addiction disorder,’’ and so on (e.g., King, Delfabbro, Griffiths, & Gradisar, 2011; Ko et al., 2009; Lee et al., 2012; Lin et al., 2012; van Rooij, Schoenmakers, van de Eijnden, & van”
