Table 2.
Regions showing significant amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) differences among the four groups of healthy control, smokers, internet gaming disorder (IGD), IGD-Smoking individuals (p < 0.05, FWE-corrected).
Identified brain regions | Peak coordinates (MNI) | Side | Peak F | Cluster size (voxels) | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
X | Y | Z | ||||
Medial pre-frontal cortex (i.e., orbital frontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex)/ventral striatum | 15 | 33 | −15 | R | 36.81 | 863 |
Cerebellar and visual-related regions (i.e., calcarine, cuneus, and lingual gyrus) | −12 | −51 | −15 | B | 28.39 | 502 |
Inferior temporal gyrus | −42 | −33 | −21 | L | 25.28 | 71 |
Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) controlling for age, years of education, and mean frame-wise displacement was performed to investigate the interaction between smoking and IGD on ALFF.
