Impaired social reward processing in individuals with Internet gaming disorder and its relationship with early face perception

In conclusion, the present study suggests that the impaired social reward processing in individuals with IGD is mainly manifested in a decreased neural sensitivity to real-life social reward. Meanwhile, the reduced RewP elicited by real-life social reward and the enhanced N170 elicited by game avatar face might serve as potential biomarkers for IGD.PMID:38457987 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2024.108006
