US scientists recently released the results of their 10-year study. It turns out that computer games are a good prevention of the development of Alzheimer's disease and other similar forms of dementia or dementia..

So, researchers say that a certain type / genre of video games that train the brain can reduce the risk of developing various dementia diseases in a person by 29%..

In total, more than 2,800 people who were over 65 years old took part in this experiment.. The work of scientists lasted more than ten years. All subjects were divided into four groups. Specialists assigned special exercises to each of them, which had to be performed on a computer.. They were aimed at training memory, exercises on inference and on the speed of information processing..

In total, the course of such “games” lasted six weeks, people spent ten hours of the game in training.. And interestingly, after that they had significant improvements in brain activity..

However, not the entire scientific community agrees with these results and statements.. Some scientists believe that they are just an accident, and some believe that this is inaccurate data.. They will still need to be reproduced again, on a different group of people..
