A recent research indicated that video games may increase children's cognitive ability, despite parents' concerns.

The study adds to evidence that video games may benefit gamers.

Scientists divided nine- and 10-year-olds into two groups: non-gamers and gamers.

They discovered increased brain activity in frontal regions linked with cognitively demanding activities and less in vision-related regions in young gamers.

Chaarani said research showed various games may affect the brain differently.

"We'll keep watching these video gamers—their neurodevelopment, behaviour, and mental health," Chaarani added.
