Motor area? 
Motor cortex. sends signals to the muscles for movement
Auditory area?
Auditory cortex processes volume pitch and speed. Auditory information form the left auditory field is processed by the right hemisphere. vice versa
Somatosensory ? 
somatosensory cortex- (paritiel lobe) sensory information from the skin to produce sensations
Visual area? 
Visual cortex. (occipital lobe) visual info from left hand visual field processed by the right hemisphere. vice versa
Kuhn et al?
Playing games for 30 minutes in a 2 month period lead to increased volumes of grey matter in various areas of the brain
