About this listen

In this episode, dedicated to the pioneering researcher Professor Eleanor Maguire, I talk about how the hippocampus acts like a time machine, to help us remember events and special moments in our past, navigate the present and travel into the future. I talk about Maguire’s groundbreaking London Taxi Driver study and how it has changed our understanding of memory, spatial navigation and scene construction.
