Brain Imbalance

Researchers have developed a treatment that may help reverse chemical imbalances made to the brain by habitual drug use and could one day help recovering drug addicts avoid future drug use.

Sugar has been shown to have an effect on the brain similar to that of an addictive drug. In fact, quickly removing it from your diet can cause withdrawal symptoms, including fatigue, depression, headaches and muscle aches. No wonder it isn't easy to quit.

The impulsive act of checking Facebook while driving, in a work meeting, or at other times that could have negative consequences is linked with a deficiency in the balance between two systems in the brain, scientists say.

Higher rate of use of Social Networking sites can lead to an imbalance between two cognitive-behavioural systems in the human brain, says a study.

Those who do not recover fully from anorexia suffered during adolescence are vulnerable to changes in their brain structure and cognition problems.
