The Changes Caused by Route-Learning in the Hippocampus

Caption

Carnegie Mellon University scientists have determined that learning detailed navigation information causes the hippocampal brain changes. This shows the areas of decreased water diffusion in the left hippocampus (blue) and the area of increased functional connectivity with this region in the right parietal lobe after learning (red).
