So there's the vague big picture things, but I'll give you a concrete practical thing, which is that I do my best not to turn on the turn-by-turn directions in my car when I'm going out or even on my phone when I'm going for a walk. This is for a couple of reasons. One is that it's like, okay, like...

I'd like to be a little more present in my environment and be looking out the window instead of looking at my screen. But actually, in the book, I spoke to some neuroscientists who are actually concerned about this, who are actually concerned that just as London cab drivers have enlarged hippocampus because they've learned so much about their environment, people who

use what's known as stimulus response navigation, that is, who just follow, like, turn left here, turn right there, turn left. And we can do that with or without GPS. Their hippocampus is, they're not using their hippocampus. They're using a different part of the brain called the caudate nucleus. And that actually translates into difference.

Your hippocampus gets smaller and your caudate nucleus gets bigger. And this over life, when we're kids, we're all hippocampus. We don't know our way around the world. So we're cognitive mapping everywhere we go, trying to figure out where we are. As we get older, we learn to use this stimulus response approach because it's faster. It's more efficient. It's less prone to errors, right?

But the problem is, as the world gets more and more optimized, as I can get into my car and just press a button and I never even have to know my own neighborhood, then we're not using our hippocampuses as much. And that leads them to being smaller. And there is research. And it's a chain of logic that isn't... Nobody has shown that turning on your GPS is going to make you get dementia.
