The visual-motor areas of his brain light up. Blood flows

his limbs and heart - he's ready to fight or escape! The
reward pathways in his brain also light up and are
reinforced by the flood of dopamine. He is so absorbed in
the game, he doesn't notice when his little sister, Arianna,
comes over until she puts her chubby hand on the screen,
trying to get his attention.
