Researchers propose a groundbreaking hypothesis, linking chronic stress and inflammation to societal and cognitive dysfunction on a global scale. They suggest that the brain’s ‘central inflammation map’ could be impaired by chronic inflammation, affecting individual and collective decision-making, and behaviors.

The spread of stress and inflammation through digital communication accelerates this process, potentially leading to a cycle of societal dysfunction and environmental degradation. The study emphasizes the need for multi-level interventions, including lifestyle changes and societal education, to break this cycle.
