How the online world is affecting the human brain

Lauren Sharkey 

Quote:The latest review considered three areas: the capacity for attention and concentration; memory processes; and social cognition.

By examining numerous findings from previous studies, the international team of researchers was able to analyze whether the internet was proving beneficial or detrimental in each of these instances.

Researchers from Harvard University in Boston, MA, Australia's Western Sydney University, and the United Kingdom's King's College London, Oxford University, and the University of Manchester all took part. Their conclusions appear in the journal, World Psychiatry.
