Synaptic Plasticity and Reflex Training
New data suggests that targeted cognitive drills can permanently alter synaptic speed in adult gamers.
Overview
Recent research into neuroplasticity shows that the brain's ability to reorganize itself doesn't stop in childhood. Specific high-frequency visual stimuli used in gaming training can strengthen the neural pathways between the visual cortex and the motor cortex, effectively shaving milliseconds off of twitch-response times.
