Larger right posterior parietal volume in action video game experts: a behavioral and voxel-based morphometry (VBM) study.

Recent studies suggest that action video game players exhibit superior performance in visuospatial cognitive tasks compared with non-game players. However, the neural basis underlying this visuospatial cognitive performance advantage remains largely unknown. The present human behavioral and imaging...
