Join Marc Arginteanu, a neurosurgeon, as we delve into a 2023 study revealing the alarming effects of social media and electronic addiction on the developing brains of middle school-aged children. Discover the intricacies of the study’s findings, the connection between TikTok and pseudo-Tourette’s syndrome, the impact of Instagram, and how excessive screen time affects brain structure and function. Marc will provide expert insights and discuss the potential for mitigating these effects by reducing screen time.

Marc Arginteanu is a neurosurgeon and author of Azazel’s Public House.

He discusses the KevinMD article, “I’m a neurosurgeon. Social media may change your kid’s brain.”

Our presenting sponsor is Nuance, a Microsoft company.
