Researchers at Stanford University have discovered that people who played Pokemon as children in the 90s might share a small region of their brain where all of that information is held, according to a new study.
As reported by Ars Technica, a recent paper published in the scientific journal Nature (and an accompanying YouTube video if you prefer that to reading a whole academic essay) breaks down the results of an experiment that compared the brains of people who played “a lot of Pokemon in their childhood” around 1995 to 1998 with people who don’t know Pokemon at all.
