Currently, smartphone and social media use belong to the most prevalent Internet-related behavioral addiction forms. However, the neurobiological background of these Internet-related behavioral addictions is not sufficiently explored. In this study, these addiction forms were assessed with self-reported questionnaires. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging was acquired for all participants ( n = 59, 29 males) to examine functional brain networks. The resting-state networks that were discovered using independent component analysis were analyzed to estimate within network differences. Significant negative associations with social media addiction and smartphone addiction were found in the language network, the lateral visual networks, the auditory network, the sensorimotor network, the executive network and the frontoparietal network. These results suggest that problematic smartphone and social media use are associated with sensory processing and higher cognitive functioning .}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1931-7565}, orcid-numbers = {Janszky, József Vladimír/0000-0001-6100-832X; Nagy, Szilvia Anett/0000-0001-6483-9209; Alhour, Husamalddin Ali Mohammad/0000-0001-5841-1652} } @article{MTMT:34113102, title = {Gray Matter Changes Following Mild COVID-19 : An MR Morphometric Study in Healthy Young People}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34113102}, author = {Perlaki, Gábor and Darnai, Gergely and Arató, Ákos and Alhour, Husamalddin Ali Mohammad and Szente, Anna Tímea and Áfra, Eszter and Nagy, Szilvia Anett and Horváth, Réka and Kovács, Norbert and Dóczi, Tamás Péter and Orsi, Gergely and Janszky, József Vladimír}, doi = {10.1002/jmri.28970}, journal-iso = {JMRI - J MAGN RESON IM}, journal = {JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING}, volume = {59}, unique-id = {34113102}, issn = {1053-1807}, abstract = {Although COVID-19 is primarily an acute respiratory infection, 5%-40% of patients develop late and prolonged symptoms with frequent neurological complaints, known as long COVID syndrome.

P < 0.05 was used as cutoff for significance.In the COVID group, significantly lower bilateral mean cortical thickness (left/right-hemisphere: 2.51 ± 0.06 mm vs. 2.56 ± 0.07 mm, η2 p = 0.102/2.50 ± 0.06 mm vs. 2.54 ± 0.07 mm, η2 p = 0.101), lower subcortical gray matter (57881 ± 3998 mm3 vs. 60470 ± 5211 mm3 , η2 p = 0.100) and lower right olfactory bulb volume (52.28 ± 13.55 mm3 vs. 60.98 ± 15.8 mm3 , η2 p = 0.078) were found.

Early outcome predictors would be essential for prognostic purposes and variability control. We aimed to compare apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) MRI data obtained during MCAO and shortly after reperfusion for their potentials in acute-phase outcome prediction. Fifty-nine male rats underwent a 45-min MCAO. Outcome was defined in three ways: 21-day survival; 24 h midline-shift and neurological scores. Animals were divided into two groups: rats surviving 21 days after MCAO (survival group, n = 46) and rats dying prematurely (non-survival/NS group, n = 13). At reperfusion, NS group showed considerably larger lesion volume and lower mean ADC of the initial lesion site (p < 0.0001), while during occlusion there were no significant group differences. At reperfusion, each survival animal showed decreased lesion volume and increased mean ADC of the initial lesion site compared to those during occlusion (p < 10-6), while NS group showed a mixed pattern. At reperfusion, lesion volume and mean ADC of the initial lesion site were significantly associated with 24 h midline-shift and neurological scores.

The Facial Emotion Recognition Paradigm was used to probe cortico-limbic responses during EFE recognition. Combined fMRI and psychophysiological analysis were implemented to measure EFE-related functional brain changes in PIU&ESU. Self-reported questionnaires were used to assess PIU&ESU. Positive associations were found between the extent of PIU&ESU and functional connections related to emotional cognitive control and social brain networks.

Typical effects of ToT are decreasing levels of task-related motivation and the deterioration of cognitive performance. However, a massive body of research indicates that the detrimental effects can be reversed by extrinsic motivators, for example, providing rewards to fatigued participants. Although several attempts have been made to identify brain areas involved in mental fatigue and related reward processing, the neural correlates are still less understood. In this study, we used the psychomotor vigilance task to induce mental fatigue and blood oxygen-level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the neural correlates of the ToT effect and the reward effect (i.e., providing extra monetary reward after fatigue induction) in a healthy young sample. Our results were interpreted in a recently proposed neurocognitive framework. The activation of the right middle frontal gyrus, right insula and right anterior cingulate gyrus decreased as fatigue emerged and the cognitive performance dropped. However, after providing an extra reward, the cognitive performance, as well as activation of these areas, increased. Moreover, the activation levels of all of the mentioned areas were negatively associated with reaction times. Our results confirm that the middle frontal gyrus, insula and anterior cingulate cortex play crucial roles in cost-benefit evaluations, a potential background mechanism underlying fatigue, as suggested by the neurocognitive framework.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1095-9572}, orcid-numbers = {Alhour, Husamalddin Ali Mohammad/0000-0001-5841-1652; Nagy, Szilvia Anett/0000-0001-6483-9209; Janszky, József Vladimír/0000-0001-6100-832X} } @{MTMT:34004909, title = {The effect of positive and negative life events on the brain using non contrast brain perfusion imaging}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34004909}, author = {Sebők-Tornai, Bence and Nagy, Szilvia Anett}, booktitle = {Abstract Book of the 1st International Conference of Biomedical Engineering and Innovation}, unique-id = {34004909}, year = {2022}, pages = {27}, orcid-numbers = {Nagy, Szilvia Anett/0000-0001-6483-9209} } @article{MTMT:33106083, title = {Investigating the Neurological Consequences of General Internet Addiction Using Resting State fMRI}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33106083}, author = {Áfra, Eszter and Arató, Ákos and Szente, Anna and Nagy, Szilvia Anett and Perlaki, Gabor and Orsi, Gergely and Darnai, Gergely and Janszky, Jozsef}, journal-iso = {J BEHAV ADDICT}, journal = {JOURNAL OF BEHAVIORAL ADDICTIONS}, volume = {11}, unique-id = {33106083}, issn = {2062-5871}, keywords = {FMRI; general Internet addiction}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2063-5303}, pages = {275-275}, orcid-numbers = {Nagy, Szilvia Anett/0000-0001-6483-9209} } @article{MTMT:33106079, title = {Effects of problematic internet use and internet-based activities on brain structure}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33106079}, author = {Szente, Anna Tímea and Arató, Ákos and Áfra, Eszter and Nagy, Szilvia Anett and Orsi, Gergely and Perlaki, Gabor and Darnai, Gergely and Janszky, Jozsef}, journal-iso = {J BEHAV ADDICT}, journal = {JOURNAL OF BEHAVIORAL ADDICTIONS}, volume = {11}, unique-id = {33106079}, issn = {2062-5871}, keywords = {MRI; PROBLEMATIC INTERNET USE}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2063-5303}, pages = {274-274}, orcid-numbers = {Nagy, Szilvia Anett/0000-0001-6483-9209} } @article{MTMT:32920165, title = {Emotional Face Expression Recognition in Internet Use Disorder: task-based fMRI study}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32920165}, author = {Arató, Ákos and SZENTE, ANNA and Nagy, Szilvia Anett and PERLAKI, GÁBOR and ORSI, GERGELY and Áfra, Eszter and DÓCZI, TAMÁS and Darnai, Gergely and JANSZKY, JÓZSEF}, journal-iso = {J BEHAV ADDICT}, journal = {JOURNAL OF BEHAVIORAL ADDICTIONS}, volume = {11}, unique-id = {32920165}, issn = {2062-5871}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2063-5303}, pages = {223-223}, orcid-numbers = {Nagy, Szilvia Anett/0000-0001-6483-9209} } @article{MTMT:32907490, title = {Language processing in Internet use disorder : Task-based fMRI study}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32907490}, author = {Darnai, Gergely and Perlaki, Gábor and Orsi, Gergely and Arató, Ákos and Szente, Anna Tímea and Horváth, Réka and Áfra, Eszter and Nagy, Szilvia Anett and Kovács, Norbert and Dóczi, Tamás Péter and Janszky, József Vladimír}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0269979}, journal-iso = {PLOS ONE}, journal = {PLOS ONE}, volume = {17}, unique-id = {32907490}, issn = {1932-6203}, abstract = {Internet use disorder (IUD) is generally conceptualized as a fast-growing behavioral addiction.
