Researchers at the University of Texas (Universityofsussex) in the UK found that the anterior cingulate cortex of the brain is smaller in people who often use multiple electronic devices at the same time. It is reported that the nervous system in the anterior cingulate cortex of the brain is responsible for the emotional function of human beings, and participates in the psychological processes of behavioral decision-making, logical reasoning, impulse control and compassion. On smartphones and tablets today, the second screen effect is almost ubiquitous. According to UK-related agencies, two-thirds of young people in the UK use another mobile device while watching TV. In addition to electronic devices, neuroscientists have worked to prove that humans are under new circumstances and experiences for a long time and will bring changes to the structure of the brain. For example, the researchers found that, compared to normal people, London's taxi drivers, their brains in the hippocampus structure is larger, and this phenomenon often occurs in the perennial migratory birds and other animals. In addition, some athletes or fitness enthusiasts, through long-term exercise training, improve the amount of white matter in the brain, which will help improve people's rapid response ability and physical exercise ability. According to the Daily Telegraph of London, researchers at the University of Texas, the school's Thackeray Consciousness Research Center, scanned the brains of 75 volunteers, investigating their habits of using smartphones, computers, watching TV and reading paper media. The researchers also found that people with more media devices had a lower density of gray matter in the anterior cingulate cortex of their brains. This new research also confirms another study in the past. Researchers have found a link between a large number of media multitasking activities and a lack of attention in the context of interference, and emotional problems such as depression and anxiety. The scientists, Kepkee Loh, say the detailed reasons behind these mechanisms are not yet clear.
