Why some video games improve brain function – and others don't
New research ties strategy games like StarCraft II to more efficient neural networks
Connecting the dots: Far from being a mindless escape, video games help the brain process information more efficiently and adapt more readily to complex tasks, according to a growing body of research. The emerging evidence suggests that the type of game and how it taxes the brain's systems are key to whether playing strengthens cognition – or simply consumes time.
Scientists discover an amphibian gut bacterium 100% effective in destroying cancer cells in rats
