Perhaps the differences in human and mouse metabolism are small enough that they make good models for testing drugs. I can't think of anything mouse studies would be less likely to be accurate models for than the effects of the consumption of media. Video games require modeling a world, suppressing irrelevant and distracting details, and pursuing goals. This seems very different from shining a bunch of lights on a mouse.
