Brain Activity "Gamer" Same with the gambler?

A study conducted recently succeeded in identifying the brain teenage gamers while playing to get stimulus in part related to the system of "reward" and continues to grow, no matter when it was won or lost.
The same brain condition was also found in the brains of gambling players who keep playing despite very slim chances of winning bets. The conclusion was obtained from the study of 154 healthy adolescents aged 14 who play video games an average of 12 hours in a week.
Their brains were scanned during playing video games on PC. The result, children who spend more time gaming activity was found in many parts of the brain that contain dopamine to transmit signals of pleasure and satisfaction.
The scans showed that they exhibit faster response when asked to make decisions, as well as parts of the brain associated with "reward" also gives the reaction despite being defeated. That condition was also found in the gambling addict.
Dr. Simone Kuhn of Ghent University in Belgium, the leader of this research, explains, although the study subjects are not addicted to video games, the results indicate that playing video games linked to addiction.
Dr Henrietta Bowden-Jones, a neurologist at Imperial College London, told the Telegraph, says these findings provide a clearer understanding between playing games and addiction to other activities.
The results of this research into the contribution of science to overcome addiction in humans. However, experimental results are not yet concluded a clear relationship between playing games leads to increased brain activity or even their brains are encouraged to play a lot.
The researchers in a report in the Journal of Translational Psychiatry revealed that children with brain features like this can get more in-depth experience while playing video games. That is, they are encouraged to be more expert play, so get more satisfactory results.
