SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY PSYCHOLOGY FEEDTITLE: Watching too much TV in midlife may shrink the brain
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/07/260721000822.htm
Watching television very often in midlife may be linked to troubling brain changes decades later. In a study of about 1,700 adults, frequent TV viewers later showed smaller brain regions involved in memory, decision-making, and visual processing, along with more signs of damage in the brain’s white matter. Surprisingly, sitting itself did not appear to be the main issue, since people who spent long hours seated at mentally engaging jobs often showed healthier brain patterns.
