Is it true that loneliness causes brain damage?steemCreated with Sketch.

in science •  6 years ago 

Loneliness reduces the volume of neurons in the sensory and motor cortex by 20%, at the same time as it breaks their DNA. This deterioration is associated with depression, cognitive deficit and loss of memory typical of people isolated in hospitals and prisons.

Now new research has shown that loneliness also damages the neurons of the brain areas associated with these symptoms.

Being alone is harmful and has physiological and psychological consequences, such as depression, stress, cognitive deficits, loss of memory and concentration.

The researchers also discovered other worrisome signals, such as reductions in a protein called BDNF, which stimulates neuronal growth. The levels of the stress hormone cortisol also changed.

It is not good that the man is alone, that is why we are designed to live in society, we recommend those people who live alone, start looking for companies.
