A new study has found that violent video games can alter the brains of young men after a mere week of playing.
Researchers from the Indiana University School of Medicine used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to observe how playing video games might affect the brain. The results indicated that boys who played violent video games experienced changes in regions associated with cognitive function and emotional control.
Even more concerning, the researchers believe that these changes are likely long-term. However, the study did not test whether these mental changes lead to physical violence.
