Could brain chemistry change from videogames?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Many things change brain chemistry, at least temporarily: e.g., food, sex, interpersonal interactions, and video games. But the research is ongoing about the long-term effects (positive, negative, or neutral) of various types of video games.
