About this listen
Dr. Michael Rugg, Distinguished Chair at the University of Texas at Dallas, Director of the Center for Vital Longevity, and a leading figure in the cognitive neuroscience of memory, joins us to pay tribute to the life and work of Dr. Eleanor Maguire, an award-winning Professor at the University College London. We discuss her groundbreaking research on memory and spatial navigation and how her innovative use of cutting-edge technology shaped our understanding of how the brain supports these processes. Her famous ‘London Taxi Driver’ study demonstrated the brain’s remarkable ability to continue to change throughout life, and her commitment to studying human brain function in naturalistic settings continues to inspire researchers worldwide. Sadly, Dr. Maguire passed away earlier this year. We hope you enjoy this discussion about her profound impact on the field of cognitive neuroscience. Thank you so much for tuning in!
