Association between usage intensity of short video platforms and altered brain function: a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study

Yicheng Long
BackgroundThe potential negative influences of short video platforms (SVPs) usage on mental health have been attracting increasing attention in recent years. This study aimed to investigate the possible effects of SVP usage on brain functions using the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) methods.MethodsResting-state fMRI data were acquired from a total of 55 young healthy adults. Based on self-reported daily usage time of SVPs, these participants were divided into a lower
