New research following children for more than a decade links high screen exposure before age two to accelerated brain maturation, slower decision-making, and increased anxiety by adolescence.

This study found evidence that children with higher screen time exhibit measurable differences in the volume and thickness of several key brain areas. The digital age has fundamentally reshaped ...

Long screen time in infants before age 2 alters the brain development, contributing to anxiety in later life. Joint reading ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...

Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

Researchers have investigated how highly organized patterns of neural activity emerge during development. Published in Nature Communications, an international collaboration between researchers at the ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

The digital age has fundamentally reshaped childhood, making screens an integral part of learning, socialization, and entertainment. Globally, screen time among adolescents has surged, accelerated by ...
