背景和目标：高级大脑区域的结构差异是行为成瘾的共同特征，包括网络成瘾（IA）。考虑到有限的研究数量和方法在以前的研究IA，我们的目的是调查相关的IA和额叶的形态测量。研究方法：为了观察这些关系，高分辨率T1加权磁共振图像的144名健康的白人，大学生进行了分析与体积和基于体素的形态计量学。使用问题互联网使用问卷（PIUQ）评估IA。结果：我们发现女性PIUQ分量表与右侧盖部体积和灰质质量之间存在显着相关性。讨论与结论：这一结构的灰质测量值增加，可能是因为人们努力控制成瘾中的冲动行为，以及通过互联网进行的社会互动数量增加。
Background and aims: Structural differences in higher-order brain areas are common features of behavioral addictions, including Internet addiction (IA) as well. Taking into consideration the limited number of studies and methods used in previous studies on IA, our aim was to investigate the correlates of IA and the morphometry of the frontal lobes. Methods: To observe these relationships, the high-resolution T1-weighted MR images of 144 healthy, Caucasian, university students were analyzed with volumetry and voxel-based morphometry. The Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire (PIUQ) was used to assess IA. Results: We found significant correlations between PIUQ subscales and the volume of the right pars opercularis volume and gray matter mass in women. Discussion and conclusion: The increased gray matter measures of this structure might be explained with the extended effort to control for the impulsive behavior in addiction, and with the increased number of social interactions via the Internet.
