Scientists are discovering that our relentless interaction with touchscreen devices are changing the way our thumbs are interacting with our brains, effectively rewiring our neural connections.

Scientists are discovering how constant smartphone usage is changing they way our brains are connected to our thumbs.

“Most superficially what we found was that smartphone users have a brain that processes touch differently than people who don’t use smartscreen touch phones,” says Dr Arko Ghosh, of the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich.
