- Entrepreneurial Intentions Are Dead: Long Live Entrepreneurial Intentions (2009, background): “For another example, the area of the brain that processes spatial relationships tends to grow significantly larger in long-time London cab drivers ( Maguire et al., 2006 ).”
- Decoding the Representation of Code in the Brain: An fMRI Study of Code Review and Expertise (2017, background): “found via fMRI that the navigation demands of being a London taxi driver stimulated brain development: drivers have largerthan-average relevant memory centers in their brains and the intensive training is responsible for that growth [46].”
- Striving for balance in economics : towards a theory of the social determination of behavior (2016, positive): “The drivers make constant use of the navigating functions of their hippocampi (Maguire et al., 2006).”
- Social Networks and Cognition (2020, result): “In a classic study, Maguire et al. (2006) showed that London taxi drivers had a larger posterior hippocampus (associated with spatial navigation) compared with a control group of bus drivers, whose physical tasks were largely similar to those of the taxi drivers but who follow a fixed route with no…”
- Maze training in mice induces MRI-detectable brain shape changes specific to the type of learning (2011, background): “There is a direct human correlate to spatial learning: in 2000, Eleanor Maguire published an intriguing study which showed that London Taxi drivers have enlarged midposterior hippocampi compared to non-taxi driving controls (Maguire et al., 2000) and bus drivers (Maguire et al., 2006).”
