☆ Study shows how the pandemic may have affected teens’ brains
  + stars: | 2024-09-09 | by ( Kristen Rogers | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
“Teens need our support now more than ever.”Significant socioemotional development occurs during adolescence, along with substantial changes to brain structure and function. The researchers originally intended to track ordinary adolescent brain development over time, starting with MRIs the authors conducted on participants’ brains in 2018. The study revealed accelerated cortical thinning in the post-pandemic brains of teens — occurring in 30 brain regions across both hemispheres and all lobes for girls, and in only two regions for boys. The prevalence of the thinning amounted to 43% and 6% of the studied brain regions for girls and boys, respectively. The regions affected in boys’ brains are involved in processing objects in the visual field as well as faces.

☆ Teens’ brains aged faster during the first year of the pandemic, study says, and stress may be to blame

CNN —The brains of US teens have physically changed during the Covid-19 pandemic, aging faster than normal, a new study says. Dozens of studies have found that teens’ and adolescents’ mental health has suffered during the pandemic. “The pandemic has not been kind to adolescent mental health,” said Gotlib, a psychology professor at Stanford University. There is a chance that their brain changes could have just been an immediate response to a stressor that will normalize over time, he said. Gotlib hopes parents and guardians keep in mind that although lockdowns and school closures may be over, the mental health consequences may be lingering.
