"Internet addiction" disrupts the performance of neurons in the brain links

A recent medical study showed that people who suffer what is known as the phenomenon of "Internet addiction" special teens are most likely to suffer from crashes and impaired neurological brain links, in addition to the exposure of the "white matter" in the brain to abnormal changes.

He explained, "Jonathan Wallis" Professor of Neurosurgery at the University of California and the supervisor of the development of research it is still not clear whether these negative changes that occur on the links brain neurons caused by addiction to the internet or by factors other neurological, where they remain to this theory debated and discussed among many of scientists at the time in which it did not reach many of the medical research conducted in this regard to an effective treatment for Internet addiction in light of conflicting diagnosis.

This comes at a time that sees a lot of researchers and doctors Neurosurgery validity and accuracy of research in this regard, as the brain areas under study are the same regions responsible for addiction and Alslukiata which increases the activity when you spend person for long hours in front of the Internet, according to the report published by news agency Middle East.

The researchers have done by subjecting about 17 adult volunteers and Internet addicts X-ray CT of the brain, and who suffered from depression and irritable, and have sought various ways to quit Internet addiction and stay for long hours in front of the computer did not succeed.

The CT scan image to the presence of varying differences in the white matter of the brain to the Internet addicts, compared to persons who do not suffer from this negative habit, which may cause a malfunction in the functions of neurons in the brain links.
