Cortical thickness differences in adolescents with IGD compared with healthy controls. Increased cortical thickness was observed in several regions in adolescents with IGD compared to healthy controls, that is, the left precentral cortex, precuneus, middle frontal cortex, and inferior temporal and middle temporal cortices. Reduced cortical thickness in the left lateral OFC, insula cortex, and lingual gyrus, along with the right postcentral gyrus, entorhinal cortex, and inferior parietal cortex were detected in adolescents with IGD [23].
