The scientists said that improves brain function in older people

It turns out that people aged 55 years it is imperative to play 3D video games.

Probably everyone knows that computer games affect the psyche and cognitive abilities of children and adolescents. In fact, so parents and forbid to spend on the computer more than an hour. In fact, this kind of game can really hurt, but only in the event of an uncontrolled time in the electronic gadgets or computer.

The researchers within six months watched three groups of volunteers who decided to participate in the experiment. All participants were at least 55 years old and not more than 75.

The first group of study participants played video games, the second – learned to play the piano, and the third lived on the usual plan, but there is no new training methodologies to participants of the third group were not offered.

None of the subjects have never in my life did not play musical instruments and computer, so that the study can be called fair and honest.

In the end of the study, each participant passed the final examination. As it turned out, the people playing every day in computer games, the level of gray matter in the brain’s hippocampus and cerebellum increased. Those who learned to play the piano, also increased the amount of gray matter in your brain, but not much.

Many people do not know that with age, the amount of gray matter decreases gradually, and keep it at the initial level as at a young age, or, even better, to increase possible, but it is necessary to regularly – to read, to learn poems, retell read novels and detectives, to learn foreign languages and even playing on the computer, but within reason and not more than 30 minutes a day.
