What is a memory made of? Which parts of the brain help us remember? And what can taxi drivers’ brains tell us about how memories are made?
In this episode of How We’re Wired, join evolutionary anthropologist Dr Anna Machin as she dives into the science of memory, and how we remember. We’ll unpick the structures of the brain that are involved in making memories, and attend an MRI scan of a London cabbie to understand what makes London drivers’ brains so fascinating to neuroscientists.
With special thanks to Mark, Stephanie, Amy Milton, and Hugo Spiers.
