The hippocampus region of the brain is likely enlarged in the jugglers and London cabbies.

The hippocampus is an area of the brain that is located in the brain's temporal lobes (mid brain). The hippocampus area of the brain is the store house for long-term memories and plays a key function in spatial navigation. The hippocampus is also involved in the creation of new memories.
