A groundbreaking neuroscience study from the United States has revealed that adolescents who spend five or more hours each day on social media exhibit significant alterations in the development of their brains, particularly in the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, areas responsible for managing emotions and controlling impulses. These results have been observed consistently across thousands of children monitored over several years. This research emerges amidst over 2,000 lawsuits filed against Meta and other platforms, claiming that social media was intentionally created to be addictive for young users.
