| Human Brain Is Capable of Changing It's Size By Gauri Nawathe, TheWorldJournal.com British neurologist, Eleanor Maguire and her team of researchers from the University College in London, claimed to have found the secret of the London's cab drivers' ability to find the most indistinct addresses. They said it lies with that area of the brain, which is related to navigation. It is the rear hippocampus. And there is something more. The rear hippocampus grew bigger as the cab driver's knowledge about the London's labyrinth of streets increased! From this it is inferred that the size of the brain can change according to the manner in which it was use. No kidding. According to a recent research, it was found that the growth of new cells might be usually prominent in young and healthy adults. Think about this. © January 11, 2001 |
