A recent study, conducted by researchers at the Open University of Catalonia in Spain and Massachusetts General Hospital in the United States, revealed that video games can alter the areas of the brain responsible for attention and visual skills, and make them more efficient.

The results revealed that brain regions involved in attention and reward processes are more efficient in those who play video games, and they demonstrate that video games can also increase the size and efficiency of brain regions related to spatial memory. As it expands the right hippocampus.

On the other hand, the study indicates that video games can also cause so-called "internet gaming disorder", as they induce functional and structural changes in the neural reward system of addicts. According to the authors of the study, these neurological changes are similar to those that appear in other addictive disorders such as alcoholism, smoking, and others.
