Neural mechanisms underlying internet gaming disorder (IGD) are important for diagnostic considerations and treatment development. However, neurobiological underpinnings of IGD remain relatively poorly understood. We employed multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA), a machine-learning approach, to exami...
