“…While the introduced scales and several of the current studies refer to smartphone addiction some researchers argue that the term “addiction” should not be simply transferred into the context of smartphone use (Panova & Carbonell, 2018 ) or propose that the term should be abandoned (Carbonell et al ., 2022 ) “to refocus clinical and research efforts on real disorders” (p. 2). Further, many researchers refer in the context of smartphone addiction research to problematic smartphone use as a more neutral term (Elhai et al ., 2017 ; Fischer-Grote et al ., 2019 ), while others prefer terms such as Smartphone Use Disorder (SmUD) to align the terminology with substance addictions and addictive behaviors in the ICD-11 of the World Health Organization (Gao, Jia, et al ., 2020 ; Gao, Sun, et al ., 2020 ).…”

The smartphone represents a transformative device which dramatically changed our daily lives, including how we communicate, work, entertain us, and navigate through unknown territory. Given its ubiquitous availability and impact on nearly every aspect of life, debates on the potential impact of smartphone (over-)use on the brain and if smartphone use can be “addictive” have increased over the last years. Several studies employed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to characterize associations between individual differences in excessive smartphone use and variations in brain structure or function. Therefore, it is an opportune time to summarize and critically reflect upon the available studies. Following this overview, we present a roadmap for future research to improve our understanding of how excessive smartphone use can impact upon the brain, mental health, and cognitive and affective functions.

The smartphone represents a transformative device which dramatically changed our daily lives, including how we communicate, work, entertain us, and navigate through unknown territory. Given its ubiquitous availability and impact on nearly every aspect of life, debates on the potential impact of smartphone (over-)use on the brain and if smartphone use can be “addictive” have increased over the last years. During the last years the number of studies that employed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to characterize associations between individual differences in excessive smartphone use and variations in brain structure and function has strongly increased and it is now an opportune time to summarize and critically reflect upon the available studies. Following this overview, we present a roadmap for future research to improve our understanding of how excessive smartphone use can impact upon the brain, mental health, and cognitive and affective functions. Keywords: smartphone, smartphone use disorder, problematic smartphone use, smartphone addiction, internet, internet addiction, MRI, review, brain, fMRI, mental health
