20 Bad Habits That Damage Your Brain

Multitasking.

Researchers at Stanford University have found that people who are regularly bombarded with multiple streams of digital information have more pronounced problems recalling information and paying attention when compared to people who complete one task at a time.Research from University of London has demonstrated that that multitasking can temporarily drop IQ scores by 15 percent, while another UK study found that high multitaskers run the risk of permanently damaging their brains. Researchers discovered that multitaskers had less brain density in the anterior cingulate cortex, a region responsible for empathy, as well as cognitive and emotional control.
