2. VBM (Voxel Based Morphometry) scans were used to calculate the amount of grey matter within the different brain regions
3. Pixel Counting scans measured 3D information from at least 26 visual 'Slices' of each Hippocampus. These were taken at 1.55mm intervals

-taxi drivers had bigger left and right posterior (back part) Hippocampus's but not anterior (front part)
-the amount of grey matter in the Hippocampus of taxi drivers was more than the control group
-the volume of the Hippocampus by Pixel Counting was smaller for the control group]]> 2019-02-13 12:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/brieannab/maguirestudy/wish/330756933 brieannab https://padlet.com/brieannab/maguirestudy/wish/330757996 -the distribution of grey matter in the Hippocampus changes with more usage
-the posterior Hippocampus appears to store spatial information about the environment and grows larger when used more]]> 2019-02-13 12:07:39 UTC https://padlet.com/brieannab/maguirestudy/wish/330757996 brieannab https://padlet.com/brieannab/maguirestudy/wish/330758286 According to Maguire, the role of the Hippocampus is to facilitate spatial memory, in the form of navigation. From previous studies it was impossible to know whether differences in brain anatomy are predetermined, or whether the brain is susceptible to plastic changes, in response to environmental stimulation.]]> 2019-02-13 12:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/brieannab/maguirestudy/wish/330758286 brieannab https://padlet.com/brieannab/maguirestudy/wish/330758993 2019-02-13 12:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/brieannab/maguirestudy/wish/330758993 brieannab https://padlet.com/brieannab/maguirestudy/wish/330759349 Pro: Gave Consent
