He lost control of the drone as he heard gunshots and found it with several holes consistent with a shotgun blast. Police arrested Russell J. Percenti, 32, on charges of possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and criminal mischief.
Playing Videogames Improves Elderly Brains
Nature: Video gaming is a highly pervasive activity, providing a multitude of complex cognitive and motor demands. Gaming can be seen as an intense training of several skills. Associated cerebral structural plasticity induced has not been investigated so far. Comparing a control with a video gaming training group that was trained for two months for at least 30 minutes per day with a platformer game, we found significant gray matter (GM) increase in right hippocampal formation (HC), right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and bilateral cerebellum in the training group. The HC increase correlated with changes from egocentric to allocentric navigation strategy. GM increases in HC and DLPFC correlated with participants’ desire for video gaming, evidence suggesting a predictive role of desire in volume change.
