Things Worth Noting
Social media reshapes your brain through neuroplasticity, altering emotions and behavior. Algorithms exploit the reward system, releasing dopamine to create addictive patterns, especially in teens with developing brains. Mirror neurons drive emotional contagion, mirroring feelings like anger or joy from online content, shaping your mindset. Negative bias amplifies anxiety and depression, while social comparison lowers […]
Trauma reshapes the brain, prioritizing survival through changes that linger even after healing. Psychological trauma, like abuse or neglect, triggers a hyperactive amygdala, shrunken hippocampus, and weakened prefrontal cortex, leading to hypervigilance, flashbacks, and poor emotional regulation. Childhood trauma, complex trauma, racial trauma, and vicarious trauma each leave unique marks, increasing risks of PTSD, depression, […]
The connection between brain health, nerves, smartphones, electric vehicles (EVs), and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) is a hot topic. Smartphones emit radiofrequency (RF) energy, measured by SAR, with 5G raising exposure concerns. They also affect cognition via screen time and blue light, potentially altering neural pathways. EVs, powered by lithium-ion batteries, produce low-frequency EMFs from electric […]
