Drivers of Black Cabs in London
Takes 3 years of training to know the routes.
Most people drop out.
Brain scans show these drivers have larger Posterior Hippocampus than other people.
This part of the brain associated with navigations in Birds and Animals.
Grew larger as they spend more time in the job.
