Gamers brains are proven to 'differ'

I was browsing the BBC News website, and found an article about how the brain of a frequent gamer differs to that of an infrequent gamer. 
Research has shown that the Ventral Straitum : which is connected to addiction, is larger in the brain of a frequent gamer compared to the brain of a non-frequent gamer. This part of the brain is usually activated when people anticipate positive environmental effects or experience pleasure, such as winning or good food. That part of the brain has also been linked with addiction to drugs.
