A recent article in Time concludes “getting a good night’s sleep, excercise, and eating right” are more likely to “maximize a brain’s potential” than a computer game. The interesting thing about this is that neuroscientists can’t agree. Some believe these games can alter the dopamine receptors, which would theoretically aid in learning and cognitive functions, while others believe the phrase “practice makes perfect” better describes the improvement, and does not carry over to cognitive functions.
