Nordic nations, North Americans and Antipodeans rank top in navigation skills

People in Nordic countries, North America, Australia, and New Zealand have the best spatial navigational abilities, according to a new study led by UCL and the University of East Anglia.

Researchers assessed data from over half a million people in 57 countries who played a specially-designed mobile game, which has been developed to aid understanding into spatial navigation, a key indicator in Alzheimer鈥檚 disease.

With so many people taking part the team were able to reveal that spatial navigation ability across all countries declines steadily across adulthood.

Playing action video games may be bad for your brain, study finds

The study by Canadian researchers Dr. V茅ronique Bohbot of Douglas Mental Health University Institute in Montreal and Dr.聽Greg West, an associate professor at the French-language Universit茅 de Montr茅al, demonstrates that the way first-person shooter video game players use their brains to navigate within the game changes the impact various games have on their nervous system.

Playing with your brain

Human-computer interactions, such as playing video games, can have a negative impact on the brain, says a new Canadian study published in Molecular Psychiatry. For over 10 years, scientists have told us that action video game players exhibit better visual attention, motor control abilities and short-term memory. But, could these benefits come at a cost?

Impact of video gaming on the brain

A new study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B by the teams of Dr. Gregory West (Assistant Professor at the Universit茅 de Montr茅al) and Dr. V茅ronique Bohbot (Douglas Institute researcher and associate Professor at 缅北强奸 and the Douglas Research Institute of the CIUSSS de l鈥橭uest-de-l鈥櫭巐e de Montr茅al) shows that while video game players (VGPs) exhibit more efficient visual attention abilities, they are also much more likely to use navigation strategies that rely on the brain鈥檚 reward system (the caudate nucleus) and not the brain鈥檚 spatial memory system (the hippocampus). Past research has shown that people who use caudate nucleus-dependent navigation strategies have decreased grey matter and lower functional brain activity in the hippocampus.聽
