Video games increase brain matter
"Like stimulants, video gaming can increase gray matter in the brain," says Dr Manos. "Grey matter provides interconnectivity and allows parts of your brain to communicate with other parts of your brain and advance your self- perception.
Your brain's grey matter -the outer-most layer of your brain - is responsible for controlling your movement, retaining your memories and regulating your emotions, Essentially, the more you learn, the more your brain can grow and adapt.

- "The more time you spend on screen, the less time you're face-to-face with somebody in person," he stresses. "There may be long-lasting detrimental emotional connection effects of that long term, especially the younger you're exposed to video games."
