2 . Children who use screens for seven hours or more a day are showing signs that their brain cortex(大脑皮层)is thinning prematurely(过早地), according to a new major US study.
The ongoing $300 million research is funded by the National Institute of Health and shows results of the effects of technology on children. The aim of the study, called Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development, is also to show how screen time affects emotional development and mental health. The researchers also determined that children who spend more than two hours of daily screen time score lower on thinking and language tests.
Researchers made the early findings by scanning the brains of 4, 500 children.
The brain cortex is the outermost layer of neural(神经中枢的) tissue that processes information from the physical world. It is critical for cognitive functions such as perception(直觉), language, memory and consciousness but thins as we mature into old age.
Though the difference was significant from participants who spent less time using smart devices, the study director cautioned against drawing a conclusion.
Dr Gaya Dowling, an NIH doctor working on the project, cautioned against drawing a conclusion because they aren’t completely sure it’s being caused by the increased use of modern technology. They won’t be able to draw a definitive outcome until they follow them over the course of several years.
Dr Dowling said: “It won’t be until we follow them over time that we will see if there are outcomes that are associated with the differences that we’re seeing in this single snapshot.”
A 2014 study showed that there is a direct correlation between the thickness of the brain cortex and IQ score. The cortex begins to thin after the age of five or six as part of the normal aging process.
The findings showed that people with a significant increase in IQ did not have the expected cortical thinning and people with a significant decrease in IQ had exaggerated(夸张) cortical(皮质的)thinning.
A major data release of the initial data is scheduled for early 2019.
