Hospital Recommends DS To Stave Off Dementia (Via Gamasutra News.) I’ve seen a few of these reports now. This excerpt captures the point in a nutshell:
Sixty-seven year old retiree Isamu Shishido is quoted as saying, “I don’t want to end up some crazy old man. I want to play a little everyday before going to bed.” Neurosurgeon Dr Takeshi Kihara comments that, “The game won’t cure dementia. But it’s a good form of stimulation, especially for old people living alone.”
