Dr. Panos Zanos delivered an engaging discussion on “Social Media & Brain” as part of the 37th Pan-Cypriot Festival of Youth and Students. The talk explored the fascinating intersection between our digital habits and neurological processes, including insights from current research on how social media platforms influence brain function, potentially covering topics such as dopamine reward pathways, attention mechanisms, and the neurobiological basis of social media engagement. This timely discussion addressed one of the most pressing questions of our digital age: how does our constant connectivity with social media platforms reshape our brains?

This talk represents our lab’s ongoing commitment to public engagement and science communication, bringing neuroscience research to the broader community.
