Document Summary

It"s quiz sznnnnn :p: is spatial memory/navigational expertise localized in the brain (they predicted it would be localized in the hippocampus, is there a statistically significant difference between the brain structure of. A shows a sagittal (left and right) section of an mri scan with the hippocampus boxed in red. B shows the volume in the posterior of the left and right hippocampi of taxi drivers, relative to those of controls. Color (yellow) indicates a z score of ~5. C shows increased gray matter volume in the anterior of the left and right hippocampi of controls relative to those of taxi drivers. Red color indicates a z score of ~2. Shows relative volume of different hippocampal areas for taxi drivers vs. non taxi drivers. Displays the finding that taxi drivers have a greater volume in the posterior hippocampus, while non-taxi drivers have a greater volume in the anterior hippocampus.
