A recent study published in Neuropsychologia has identified specific patterns of brain connectivity that can predict an individual’s tendency toward online shopping addiction.

This behavioral addiction is characterized by excessive and compulsive online shopping that disrupts daily life and social functioning.

Findings provide insights into the neurobiological underpinnings of this growing behavioral addiction.

Future research could explore how these findings might inform therapeutic strategies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or non-invasive brain stimulation, to improve self-control and reduce compulsive shopping behaviors. The study, “Individualized prediction of online shopping addiction from whole-brain functional connectivity,” was authored by Liang Shi , Zhiting Ren , Qiuyang Feng , and Jiang Qiu ..
