Phone addiction has been explained, but scientists do not know how to get rid of it

If you’re always glued to telephone, it’s not your fault, but a chemical imbalance in your brain, write those from Playtech.ro.

A study of adolescents obsessed with telephones or the Internet showed an unexpected thing. People who struggle with technology addiction have larger amounts of a chemical compound in their brain that slows down received signals and smaller amounts of a compound that makes neurons more active. In their brain, the neurotransmitter GABA, which regulates anxiety, is found in full, unlike glutamate, which stimulates neurons electrically.

The discovery was made by Hyung Suk Seo and his team at Korea University. They scanned the brains of 19 technology-addicted people and concluded that their obsession endangered their health. They compared the results with those of 19 other people who had no problems.
