V interesting study in @bmj.com
USA Taxi drivers & ambulance drivers are less likely to die of Alzheimer's disease than people of other professions

Links made to Eleanor Maguire's famous discovery that the posterior hippocampus of London taxi drivers was larger than controls.

My thoughts in🧵

Science News @scinews.bsky.social · Dec 17

Alzheimer’s disease deaths lowest among taxi and ambulance drivers. #BMJ

"Findings raise possibility that frequent spatial processing tasks might offer some protection against Alzheimer’s disease"
