Don’t worry, playing games won’t cause Alzheimer’s disease
National newspapers and gaming outlets have been abuzz over the past few hours over a new study released in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. The study, entitled “Habitual action video game playing is associated with caudate nucleus dependent navigational strategies” examined the performance of gamers versus non-gamers in a spatial aware maze test, with the researchers suggesting that their findings indicated there could be a link between the development of Alzheimer’s disease and playing video games.
