Teenager brain aging caused by Pandemic: The Corona epidemic has pushed the whole world back many years. No one can say for how many years the effect of Corona will remain on the whole generation, but at present Corona has given so many pains that it is difficult to compensate. Now such a scary picture has come out in a new research which says that due to the corona epidemic, there has been a radical change in the brains of the teenagers who were in lockdown due to which their brains have become old before time. That is, the change that happens in the human mind with time, that change has happened in the teenage age itself. According to the report, Corona has caused many mental problems in children including laziness, malaise, screen addiction, misbehaviour. This has also affected the learning ability of the children. Not only have there been physical changes in children but they have also changed practically. A new study from Stanford University suggests that stressors related to the pandemic have physically changed the brains of adolescents, making their brain structures appear several years older than the brains of their peers before the pandemic.

part of the brain starts to thin
Ian Gottlieb, a researcher at Stanford University and the lead author of the study, said that it is natural to change the structure of the brain over time, reported TOI. The child’s body develops rapidly at the beginning of adolescence and puberty. During this, the hippocampus and amygdala of the brain also develop rapidly. These parts of the brain control memory and emotions. At the same time some part of the brain tissue becomes thin. In their research, the researchers analyzed the data of MRI scans of 163 children before and during the corona. It showed that during the lockdown, the brain of teenagers developed at a very fast pace, due to which the brain started aging. This study was published in the Biological Psychiatry Global Open Science Journal.

clouds of danger over the whole generation
Researchers said that so far this kind of change in children’s brain has been seen when children are struggling with any adverse chronic diseases. In this, children get upset due to many reasons including neglect, violence, family dysfunction. In that situation, the adolescent’s brain starts aging prematurely. Gottlieb said it is not yet clear whether the changes seen in the brain structure of adolescents are permanent. The researchers said that such psychological changes may have caused a whole generation of adolescents of this age to suffer later. He told that usually people of 70-80 years old have intellectual ability and memory problems due to changes in their brains, but if such changes happen in 16-17 years of age, what would be the consequences, it is not said at the moment.
