@EevikWol @radio_357 A co Pan na to? W 2020 r. zostało opublikowane badanie „Structural and functional correlates of smartphone addiction”, które pokazało ubytek istoty szarej mózgu u osób uzależnionych od telefonów komórkowych. Zachodzące zmiany były zbieżne z zaobserwowanymi wcześniej u narkomanów.
