The website GreenMedInfo recently published a fascinating article about MRIs taken of preschoolers with various amounts of screen usage.  They write that Cincinnati Children’s Hospital researchers found among those who had more screen time significant, negative changes in white matter that correlate with language and literacy regions.  The article draws in other research which also support the idea that eliminating or severely restricting the amount of screen time that young children receive is important for preserving brain health and function years down the line.

The article is short, clearly written, and can be accessed here:  https://www.greenmedinfo.health/blog/too-much-screen-time-harms-brain-development1?utm_campaign=Daily%20Newsletter%3A%20Too%20Much%20Screen%20Time%20Harms%20Brain%20Development%20%28NrEdYy%29&utm_medium=email&utm_source=5G%20Summit%20Attendees&_ke=eyJrbF9lbWFpbCI6ICJ0c2ltaW5vd0Bob3RtYWlsLmNvbSIsICJrbF9jb21wYW55X2lkIjogIksydlhBeSJ9
