Researchers have found a imbalance in the brain chemical of young people dependent on phones and internetıt, according to a study presented today at the North American Radiological Association's annual meeting (RSNA).
According to a recent Pew Research Center study, 46 percent of Americans say that they could not live without their phones. While this feeling is clearly hyperbole, more and more people are becoming addicted to smartphones and other electronic devices for news, information, games, and even random phone calls.
Along with a growing concern that young people, in particular, can spend much time staring at their phones instead of interacting with others, brings questions about the immediate effects on the brain, and possible long - term consequences of such habits.
Hyung Suk Seo, M.D., professor of neuroradiology at the University of Korea of Seoul, South Korea, and colleagues used magnetic resonance spectroscope (MRS) to gain unique knowledge in the brain of teenagers addicted to smartphones and internet. The MRS is a kind of MRI that measures the chemical composition of the brain.
