Man I don't know where to begin. I love the subject matter, I think it's a question that should be on the gamer's licence test: - How healthy is your brain?- You've got a right aproach to it and it really does matter, in what you spend that many hours practicing (repeating time after time after...).
The first thing that popped into my mind as I read was, where is this research or MRI wrong? And it hit me. It's not that the videogame itself (nor the tv screen) is damaging your brain... you are! Playing can be a brain's gym but you have to make it right in order to do so. I mean what is lacking on the assumption that videogames are the problem is that you're not taking into account other several factors, such as time of sleep, what kind of diet are you having, physical training and also some kind of "antigaming environment" where and when you rest from the game! What I'm trying to say is, even when your time at the screen and pad is too much, it still wouldn't be the videogames fault. It's your time and your schedule at it, and how you support or maintain that kind of style, but being really healthy at the same time. I would put the example of the F1 driver. He has to be in such shape (both physically and mental) so that he can last (survive) 2 to 3 hrs sitting inside a car. This means that you NEED to have a training regime or something like that (lol) in order to spend a lifetime of gaming. Hope I could make myself only a little bit clear on that matter. English still isn't my stronger element. But kudos to your post. I really apreciate what you meant. Cheers!
