There was a positive correlation between time spent as a taxi driver and grey matter volume in the posterior hippocampus, and a negative correlation with grey matter volume in the anterior hippocampus.

There was a negative correlation between time spent as a taxi driver and grey matter volume in the posterior hippocampus, and a positive correlation with grey matter volume in the anterior hippocampus.

There was a positive correlation between time spent as a taxi driver and grey matter volume in both the anterior and posterior hippocampus.
