Video game playing found beneficial for the brain
Playing the Super Mario 64 video game causes increased size in brain regions responsible for spatial orientation, memory formation and strategic planning as well as fine motor skills, a new study conducted at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and Charité University Medicine St. Hedwig-Krankenhaus has found.
In Sept. 2013, researchers at UC San Francisco found a 3D video
game called NeuroRacer that got progressively harder as seniors played improved seniors’ multi-tasking abilities and boosted a neurological network responsible
for goal-oriented processes to the point they resembled brains of younger
people on tests.
March 2012, researchers at North Carolina State University
found older adults who played video games reported better emotional health,
social functioning and higher levels of well-being compared to people who don’t
play video games.
