What actually happens in brain when we watch a lot of highly stimulating content regularly (eg- TikTok)?

227 views

I have heard stuff like dopamine desensitization but was never explained properly about what actually happens inside the brain.

I am interested in knowing what happens inside the brain, the neurobiological stuff (sorry if I used the wrong word)

TikTok isn’t “highly stimulating”. If you were to ask the average TikTok viewer (and were assured of an honest answer) they would say most of the videos they watch are utter trash that is occasionally punctuated by something worth watching. All it’s doing is keeping your mind occupied with drivel, which isn’t likely to change your brain chemistry in any way, except maybe varying degrees of depression that tend to follow such empty pursuits.
