Hungry Hungry Hippocampus


Well, kidlets, did you know you can change the shape of your brain? Yes, indeed. There are fascinating studies out there showing that gained knowledge, particularly navigational knowledge, can increase the actual size of the hippocampus region of your brain. It appears that smart though you may be, cab drivers in London actually have a bigger brain. Weird, huh? More to come as regards these cabbies. (I'll bet you can't wait!)

Of course, some of us have been blessed with extraordinarily large brains... that's why I have such a big head, after all.
