Tetris Improves Brain Function

I love it when I discover things that prove that my wasted youth may not have been so wasted after all. Neuroscientist Richard Haier and the BBC have done a study and interview sharing that the game increases cells and connections in the cerebral cortex.

The cerebral cortex is responsible for planning complex activity and coordinating sensory information. That seems useful, and according to the number of hours I used to play that game, I should be able to plan a camping trip to the moon in about 15 minutes without breaking a sweat. Or at least find my keys. One of the two.
