NEW YORK, June 6: A new study has identified potential brain function disruptions in teenagers diagnosed with internet addiction, particularly in areas controlling attention and working memory. The findings, published Tuesday in the journal PLOS Mental Health, reviewed 12 neuroimaging studies conducted between 2013 and 2022, involving a few hundred adolescents aged 10 to 19.

Teens diagnosed with internet addiction show significant disruptions in brain regions responsible for attention, working memory, and executive function, according to a recent study published in PLOS Mental Health. The review analyzed 12 neuroimaging studies involving adolescents aged 10 to 19 and found notable differences in brain signaling compared to their peers without internet addiction.

Excessive internet use in teens may lead to disrupted brain function, affecting attention and working memory, a new study suggests. Published in PLOS Mental Health, the study reviewed 12 neuroimaging studies of adolescents and found significant brain signaling disruptions in those diagnosed with internet addiction.

Research published in PLOS Mental Health indicates that teens diagnosed with internet addiction exhibit disrupted signaling between brain regions essential for controlling attention, working memory, and executive functions. The study reviewed 12 neuroimaging studies involving adolescents and highlighted significant brain function disruptions compared to non-addicted peers.

A review of 12 neuroimaging studies, published in PLOS Mental Health, reveals that teenagers diagnosed with internet addiction experience significant disruptions in brain regions responsible for attention and working memory. The findings underscore the potential impact of excessive internet use on adolescent brain development.

Teens with internet addiction show impaired connectivity in brain regions governing attention, planning, and impulse control, according to a new study in PLOS Mental Health. The research reviewed 12 neuroimaging studies and found substantial brain signaling disruptions in addicted adolescents compared to their non-addicted peers.

A comprehensive review of neuroimaging studies, published in PLOS Mental Health, has found that teens diagnosed with internet addiction experience disruptions in brain regions crucial for attention and working memory. The study highlights the significant impact of excessive internet use on adolescent brain function.4o
