In the website of Taiwan News, a new study by the Department of Psychiatry of Taipei Veterans General Hospital is helping established the theory that playing of violent video games actually decreased blood flow to the brain.
The details are as below:

Department of Psychiatry of Taipei Veterans General Hospital Doctor Chou Yuan-hua showed that prolonged playing of violent video games may actually damage the brain.
The experiment took in 30 people, each one aged 25. The sample population then underwent physical examinations to monitor the blood circulation before and after playing a video game for 30 minutes.
Results showed that playing games actually decreased blood flow to the brain. Those who were exposed to violent games saw an even bigger drop in blood circulation. These have also been proven by previous studies.
Chou pointed out that the decrease in blood to the brain could potentially damage two parts of the internal organ: the frontal lobe of the brain and the anterior cingulate gyrus. The doctor also mentioned that based on previous clinical experiences, individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia or depression have lower blood flow in their frontal lobes and anterior cingulate gyruses.
So does this mean that we have to give up our hobby of gaming? Well, far from it. While no conclusions have been made about this decrease in blood flow, the study should serve as a reminder for all you game-loving folks out there: playing for extended periods of time on a regular basis is not healthy.

Note the frontal lobe is Reasoning

i tell you those are lies (not rly but who gives a fuck)

Practically every single thing that we do is unhealthy and most activities can "damage" our brain.

mmmhmm!

who gives a fuck? people drink and smoke and that probably worse for us then games lol.

Don't believe in all such......there are lot many other social hazardious consumptions some of them were listed above...that are the major reason to worry........about..Never to mind this...

I think we're all responsible enough to play as long as we want and know when to quit, for most of us this isn't a problem.
