The human brain is divided into two hemispheres; the left brain and the right brain. To put it unscientifically and very simply, the left hemisphere manages language and logic, and the right hemisphere specialises in spatial awareness and intuition. I have long been an advocate of video games for activating both sides of the brain: engaging creatively with problem-solving and applying logic whilst also using your hands to dexterously and precisely engage with a platform has been proven to encourage brain thickening in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. That is to say: games make you smart.
