Eleanor Maguire
Eleanor Maguire was a distinguished cognitive neuroscientist known for her groundbreaking research on the hippocampus and its role in memory. She gained prominence for her studies involving London taxi drivers, which demonstrated that the hippocampus can adapt and grow in response to extensive learning, reshaping our understanding of memory as an active, reconstructive process rather than a mere playback of past experiences. Her innovative use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allowed her to explore the brain's functioning in real-time, making significant contributions to neuroscience. Tragically, she passed away on January 4 at the age of 54 after battling spinal cancer.
