Guest: Jeffrey Anderson, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Neuroradiology at the University of Utah School of Medicine  Do you scold your kids about playing too many video games?

New research by the University of Utah and Chung-Ang University in South Korea confirm what previous studies have begun to show – that people who spend excessive time playing video games have brains that are wired differently. Some of the changes are good, while others are not so good.
