Maguire’s study was a natural experiment‚ aiming to see if spatial memory was localised in the hippocampus. The procedure was using MRI scans to compare the brains of two groups of people – a control group‚ made up of 16 right handed taxi drivers and 50 right-handed males who were not

The use of computed tomography (CT) for stroke evaluation has riced‚ moreover ‚ CT is quick than MRI. Recently there are CT techniques like perfusion CT and CT angiography that combined with non-enhanced CT that help the physicians to put them to international protocol of CT stroke.
