[Abstract] With the computer and internet penetration, internet addiction has been paid close attention to as a social problem. At present, most of studies mainly relate to definition, classification, epidemiology, diagnostic scale, treatment of internet addiction. However, it is still relatively rare to explore on the neuroimaging. This article reviewed and analyzed the recent studies on the neuroimaging of internet addiction, introduced the method of imaging studies, and demonstrated the changes in brain structure and function of internet-addicted persons, so it could contribute to provide theoretical basis for further research and treatment of internet addiction.
