Steven Weisberg, a researcher at the University of Texas at Arlington, found that advanced artificial intelligence tools could not uncover a clear link between brain structure and navigation ability in healthy young adults—challenging long-standing ideas about how the brain helps us find our way. For decades, many in the scientific community believed that people with elite navigation skills—such as quickly learning and recalling complex routes—might have larger or differently shaped brain regions than others. Famous studies of London taxi drivers, for example, suggested that intense navigation training could lead to more "real estate" in certain parts of the brain.
