Summary
Eleanor Maguire's "Navigation-Related Structural Changes in the Hippocampi of Taxi Drivers" explored the relationship between neuroplasticity and environment...and what it suggested about stimulation of the human brain sparked the 1990s' craze for brain-fitness games and exercises. In this program, Dr. Maguire discusses her study of London's cabbies and their ability to navigate the city without a map. Her explanation of how the study was designed and carried out also stands as a lesson in the basics of non-experimental research methods.
