Eleanor Maguire

Eleanor Maguire is a British neuroscientist renowned for her research on the brain's role in memory and navigation. She uses advanced brain imaging techniques to study how specific areas, like the hippocampus, are involved in forming and storing memories. Her work has shown how the brain adapts and changes, especially in people who acquire extraordinary skills or face brain damage. Maguire's findings deepen our understanding of how the brain supports learning, memory, and spatial awareness, contributing to fields like cognitive neuroscience and helping inform treatments for memory-related conditions.
