Two hours for the changes
We know about the incredible plasticity of the brain, but certainly not all. A recent study by researchers from Israel (Sagi et al., 2012) showed evidence of neuroplasticity speed.
Structural changes in the brain can be observed through the tens of minutes learning something new. Using diffusion tensor scanning (diffusion tensor imaging, DTI) MRI, researchers were able to see the changes in the hippocampus after two hours of video games. In experiments with rats it was found exactly what these changes are associated with the neurotrophic factor of the brain (brain derived neurotropic growth factor, BDNF), a protein that is responsible for supporting the growth and development of neurons. Probably, the people involved, the same mechanism.
What does this mean? You can change your brain just 2 hours, enough for noticeable or not noticeable at all, changes in behavior. Only two hours of dance, or a new computer game will turn you into some other person, in the literal sense. Well, of course, this again confirms that video games - a very good thing!
