Diego Redolar

Diego Redolar is a prominent neuroscientist and the Dean of Psychology at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya. His research focuses on the cognitive effects of excessive screen time and social media usage, particularly among younger populations. In a recent discussion on the phenomenon known as 'brain rot,' he highlights how excessive consumption of quick, dopamine-inducing content can undermine critical cognitive functions such as attention, memory, and decision-making. Redolar advocates for the importance of engaging in activities that stimulate mental and physical health, emphasizing that the brain's plasticity allows for recovery and improvement through new neural connections.
