Using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we examined the effect of video-game experience on the neural control of increasingly complex visuomotor tasks. Previously, skilled individuals have demonstrated the use of a more efficient movement control brain network, including the prefrontal, premotor, primary sensorimotor and parietal cortices. Our results extend and generalize this finding by documenting additional prefrontal cortex activity in experienced video gamers planning for complex eye-hand coordination tasks that are distinct from actual video-game play. These changes in activation between non-gamers and extensive gamers are putatively related to the increased online control and spatial attention required for complex visually guided reaching. These data suggest that the basic cortical network for processing complex visually guided reaching is altered by extensive video-game play.
我们使用事件相关功能磁共振成像（fMRI）研究了视频游戏经验对日益复杂的视觉运动任务的神经控制的影响。之前，熟练个体已经表现出使用更有效的运动控制大脑网络，包括前额叶、前运动皮质、初级感觉运动皮质和顶叶皮质。我们的结果通过记录经验丰富的视频游戏玩家在规划复杂的眼手协调任务时的额外前额叶皮质活动来扩展和推广这一发现，这些任务与实际的视频游戏玩法不同。非游戏玩家和大量游戏玩家之间的这种激活变化据称与复杂的视觉引导伸展所需的增加的在线控制和空间注意力有关。这些数据表明，广泛的视频游戏玩会改变处理复杂视觉引导伸展的基本皮质网络。
