First seen May 19, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026

Summary

This study looks at two brain chemicals (BDNF and GDNF) in children aged 10-14 with internet gaming disorder compared to healthy kids. Researchers want to see if these chemicals are linked to impulsivity and how kids respond to rewards and punishments. The goal is to better understand the biology behind gaming addiction, not to test a treatment.
