Back to top At age 17, Anthony Rosner of London, England, was a hero in the World of Warcraft online gaming community. “I never saw my real friends. Rosner nearly threw away a university degree in pursuit of the game. Researchers in China, for example, performed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies on the brains of 18 college students who spent an average of 10 hours a day online, primarily playing games like World of Warcraft. As far back as the early 1990s, scientists warned that because video games only stimulate brain regions that control vision and movement, other parts of the mind responsible for behavior, emotion, and learning could become underdeveloped.
