Amongst the wider public, video gamers do not have the best reputation. They are perceived, somewhat unfairly, as socially awkward, bespectacled, pimply-faced geeks. However, new research provides them something of a "Revenge-of-the-Nerds moment": Action video gamers (AVGs) have more gray matter and better connectivity in certain subregions of the brain.

I always felt I wuz a little smartur then mi nongaming cowerkers.
I actually agree to this, for some reason. It's kinda flattering ahahahahahah
Speak for your self! My brains disjointed as f***!
Better hand/eye coordination for sure.
Gaming is excellent brain candy. Always has been.
Beyond hand eye coordination, it teaches the individual to process lots of information much faster than they ordinarily would have to.
I have said this for decades and it is true. Being an intense gamer leads one to be a much better driver. The ability to scan the road and focus on the data heavy areas, while simultaneously taking in and processing other areas, and making quick decisions is often helped by gaming. It takes years, but it 100% has a positive effect.
Gamers have a confidence attribute between their hands, eyes and actions. We are able to do without thinking and our relationship between mind, hand and eyes is very honed.
