Maze training in mice induces MRI-detectable brain shape changes specific to the type of learning (2011, background): “…human imaging studies on navigation found that the sizes of anatomical structures differed between groups that had repeatedly used either a non-spatial/response or spatial navigation strategy, although a causal relationship was not established (Maguire et al., 2000, 2006; Bohbot et al., 2007).”
Brain Structures Differ between Musicians and Non-Musicians (2003, positive): “The search for anatomical markers of extraordinary skills has fascinated researchers for many years (Schlaug et al., 1995b; Zatorre et al., 1998; Witelson et al., 1999; Maguire et al., 2000; Amidzic et al., 2001; Keenan et al., 2001; Munte et al., 2002).”
The Parieto-Frontal Integration Theory (P-FIT) of intelligence: Converging neuroimaging evidence (2007, background): “For example, the high memory demands on London taxi drivers are reflected in bigger hippocampi (Maguire et al. 2000).”
Evolution of the brain and intelligence. (2005, positive): “A much cited example for the first view is the relationship between spatial memory and the size of the hippocampus in birds and mammals [6,31, 32 ].”
Neuroeconomics: How Neuroscience Can Inform Economics (2005, positive): “, 1995), and the brain regions responsible for navigation and spatial memory (the hippocampus) of London taxi drivers are larger than comparable areas in non-taxi drivers (Maguire et al., 2000).”
The New C Standard (Excerpted material) An Economic and Cultural Commentary (2008, neutral): “, changes in the hippocampi of taxi drivers[276]) are not considered here.”
A computational principle for hippocampal learning and neurogenesis (2005, background): “…to cause changes in hippocampal volume: Maguire and colleagues have reported London taxi drivers to have larger hippocampal volume than controls (Maguire et al., 2000), whereas hippocampal volume was found not to correlate with navigational expertise in non-taxi drivers (Maguire et al., 2003).”
Meditation and the Neuroscience of Consciousness: An Introduction (2007, background): “London taxi cab drivers have larger hippocampi than matched controls, and the amount of time the individual has worked as a cab driver predicted the size of the posterior hippocampus (Maguire et al., 2000).”
London taxi drivers and bus drivers: A structural MRI and neuropsychological analysis (2006, methodology): “The coordinates of the voxels of peak gray matter difference in the anterior hippocampi are also similar to those observed by Maguire et al. (2000).”
Training-induced structural changes in the adult human brain. (2008, background): “For example, navigational experience has been reported to be correlated with posterior hippocampus size [75] and musical proficiency to be associated with volume enlargement of motor and auditory areas and their anatomical connections [10,44,45,95].”
Cognitive control and lexical access in younger and older bilinguals. (2008, background): “In another example, Maguire et al. (2000) found that London taxi drivers with extensive training in route finding had enlarged portions of the hippocampi devoted to spatial processing.”
