On this episode of the Inside the Brain podcast, we dive deep into the phenomenon of "social media brain rot" and explore what is actually happening inside your head. We sit down with Alex Boke, who shares their raw, personal experience after completing a long-term digital detox. Can you truly "undo" the effects of social media, or is the damage permanent? We are joined by neuroscientist Dr. Axel Bouchon to break down the science of dopamine, attention spans, and how the modern digital landscape is rewiring our neural pathways. In this episode we cover: The neuroscience behind digital addiction and "brain rot." Why short-form content hacks your brain’s reward system. Practical, science-backed steps for a successful digital detox. How to reclaim your focus and mental clarity in an overstimulated world.
