Brain Training Games Enhance Cognitive Function in Healthy Subjects

This study examined the impact of brain training games (BTGs), specifically Lumosity, on cognitive performance in healthy young adults. Participants who played BTGs for 15 minutes daily over three weeks showed significant improvements in attention, memory, and processing speed compared to a control group. The study also investigated the potential role of biological markers like BDNF and ApoE in cognitive changes, but no significant associations were found. These findings suggest short-term cognitive benefits from structured brain training, though long-term effects remain unclear.

Incorporate short, daily sessions of brain training games to improve attention and memory. While this study shows benefits in young adults, long-term impacts and applicability to older populations or real-world functions need further research. Use brain training as part of a balanced approach with other mental and physical-exercises.
