What the paper says

This study provides preliminary evidence that overwork is associated with structural brain changes, particularly in regions linked to cognition and emotion. These findings provide novel neurobiological evidence linking prolonged working hours to structural brain changes, emphasising the need for further research to understand the long-term cognitive and emotional implications of overwork.
