What Happens In Our Brain When We Play Chess?

The number of areas of the brain that are stimulated when an individual plays a game of chess

Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system, its importance is that thanks to it we can better know how our brain works, in order to respond to arguments like the one posed by this article.
Apparently, inside our brains are kept the secrets of how we chart strategies in our lives.
The areas of the brain that are stimulated during the development of a game, managed to be visualized by illustrations capable of locating the strategic center of the brain, thanks to a functional MRI study, which revealed which parts of the brain are activated at each moment.
In the face of movement of each piece, the image illuminated the brain areas involved in the activity. Casting as a result the light of the entire brain tree.
The part closest to the forehead controls the defensive strategy. The later one, at the other end, is the epicenter of the offensive strategy

There is a characteristic pattern of brain activity when choosing a strategy and it is totally different from the one that appears when specific movements are made.

As for memory utilization, scientists found that this activity is most evident in the average temporal lobe of beginner players, and this is because their intuition focuses on analyzing new movements during the game. Meanwhile for more experienced players those bursts of activity occur in the parietal and frontal cortex, indicating that they are recovering parts of remote memory (consolidated memories) by resetting circuits outside the middle temporal lobe.
The ability to decide a very fast strategy is developed thanks to training, which adapts to each player, also managing to improve their playing skills and with them their attitudes and behaviors to uncover in the world of 64 squares.
