Does video games make us smart?

Today many wonder if video games are harmful to health, which will only bring us many negative affects on our body and our personality. However, the opposite is true, so I wanted to share this article with the steemit community and the steemit users who are gamers.
In a way, video games affect us both mentally and physically, but either in a negative or positive way.

Most who play either online games that are the most popular today, tend to be a little smarter than people of average intelligence, and why is that?

In other words, they tend to have this type of hobby become more capable of understanding situations that need quick thinking, since most video games require a lot of feedback and observations of how the game system works, therefore The brain begins to work, carrying out the growth of gray matter. According to studies by a team of German neurologists who studied 23 people who played Super Mario 64 for half an hour a day for two months, they said that MRI scanners revealed that gray matter had increased in the hippocampus, the prefrontal cortex , and the cerebellum, which are the parts of the brain responsible for spatial perception, memory, strategic planning and motor coordination in the hands.






In other words, we can affirm that video games are not only harmful to our mental state, but quite the opposite, today we can say that people experienced in such popular games as the * Battle Royale * tend to be people with a great perception spatial and compression of these problems, since in this type of games you need to have a quick and bold thinking.
