It doesn’t matter if it’s on a Wii, Xbox, Switch, or PlayStation, playing video games can improve your brain as well as build hand-eye coordination and spatial visualization (the ability to imagine moving and rotating two- and three-dimensional objects). Researchers in Belgium analyzed the brains of 150 teenagers. They found that the ones who played video games regularly had more cells in the left ventral striatum of their brains—the part of the brain connected to emotions and behavior. Other studies have shown that those who play action video games build stronger perception, attention, and cognition skills than non–game players. So plug in a Call of Duty game and get going!
