One of these potential effects, could be “an increased risk of seizures for those with epilepsy” (Jamies picture). Fortunately, most if not all games are required to put a warning before the game can be played, in hopes that the number of game induced seizures will decrease over time. One difference that is possible between some gamers and non-gamers, is that “gamers tend to have a larger striatum” (Thomas np). By having a larger striatum, the size of the hippocampus is reduced, which can affect the memories of the user. By the hippocampus being less active, the user is more likely to develop disorders such as Alzheimer 's. Though aggression is not a common factor in all gamers, one study resulted in kids that "behaved more aggressively than those who played nonviolent games" (Jacobs np). This particular study may imply that more violent video games can have an effect on certain players, while not affecting others at all. While the positive effects are considered, "negative effects of violent games have been the prime focus on computer games" (Peng 4). Many people don 't even consider that video games can have a positive effect on your mind. Due to this, video games always get a bad name, as most people are just looking for the negative
