Does Tetris Boost Brainpower?

There has been a study that playing tetris in our computer helps our brain to be more efficient.
According to Technologyreview.com:
Practicing the computer game Tetris appears to boost growth in some parts of the adolescent brain and to enhance efficiency in others, according to a study published today in the journal BMC Research Notes. According to the researchers, the study is the first to assess both brain structure and efficiency using two types of brain imaging before and after practicing a cognitive task.

The study compared adolescent girls who practiced Tetris over a three-month period and those who did not. According to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the practice group increased thickness of the cortex in certain areas. Their brains also appeared to function more efficiently in some areas, meaning they used less brainpower to complete the same tasks.

For me ill try to play tetris as long as i want to make my brain more efficient.

Doing all sorts of things, we sometimes become dull. Its important to boost our brain. Forget the old tradition of eating almonds, dry fruits. One can go discover new hobbies and increase energy, try some fun tactics like write 10 things on a sheet of paper and recollect it after an hour or two. For more details on it refer, Brainpower
