While social media can provide opportunities for connection, self-expression, and entertainment, there is growing concern that excessive social media use may be having a negative impact on adolescent mental health.

New research suggests that exposure to the uterus with anti-epileptic drugs or antidepressants may affect the development of neonatal brain networks. In research, new mathematical methods were d eveloped to allow future research into the effects of overused drugs or other natural conditions on the newborn brain. <a href='https://www.freepik.com/photos/pregnancy'>Pregnancy photo created by valuavitaly - www.freepik.com</a> Pregnant women may need to be treated for their medical conditions, such as mood swings or epilepsy. The effects of such drug treatment on neonatal brain function were tested in a study conducted at the BABA Center, a research unit at the University of Helsinki, and the New HUS Helsinki University Hospital. The study used electroencephalography (EEG) to measure brain activity during sleep, and cortical network structures were calculated using advanced mathematical techniques. "In previous studies, we have shown that changes in cortical functio...
