 This is scientific American 60 seconds science. I’m eric berries. Get a minute?

From the back sea of a cab, the moves a driver makes may a time-seem let's say in fact, cabies may actually be better, more  drivers than the rest of us. because they know their streets so well.
Previous research found that the   in the brain of a typical cab driver is  enlarged. That’s the part of the brain used in navigation. But now a study conforms that learning detail navigation information doesn’t indeed cause that part of the brain to grow.The findings are in the journal: Neuro images.
Researchers have young adults who are not regular gamers played a driving simulation games. Some practiced the same road 20 times, while other players were confronted with 20 different roads. The participants’ brains were scanned before they performed the simulated driving and again after.
Researchers found that subjects who captures the same roads increase their speed more than those drive multiple roads. The single road  drivers were also much better able to put in order a sequence of friends in pictures taking taking along the way and to draw a map of the road.
the investigators also found increases in the single road drivers in the functional connetivity between the  and other parts of the brain involved with navigation. And the amount of changes was that  related to the amount of improvement each participant displayed.
this findings make the explain whether a uber driver can eventually get you from point A to point B  but may lack the seemingly effort listen mental flexibility that a yellow cabie displayed on the streets.    have been there, done that and their  show itthanks for the minute.
