'TikTok brain' from short video addiction influences mood, learning and memory, as study shows

Anyone who has ventilated himself after being accused of having “Tikkok Brain” should stop reading now – if he has not yet done so.

Studies show that your incessant flicker has a prize through video clips on social media: “cognitive deficits”.

According to scientists from China's Tianjin Normal University and the University of California, Los Angeles in the USA, people with a short video not only show “compulsive and uncontrolled use of short video platforms”, but also another brain morphology or structure in comparison to others.

People with this addiction tend to “consume personalized content to the extent that they negatively affect the other activities,” said the team.
