Crazy Taxi Helps Brain Cell Research

Thanks to Betterhumans.com for their story regarding research using videogames to explore brain cells and navigation. According to the piece: "Understanding of how brain cells interact to help people navigate has been furthered by an experiment using epileptic patients who drove a virtual taxi while attached to an EEG monitor." While watching players of the game, which was presumably Crazy Taxi: "The researchers identified three distinct brain cells that helped the players navigate: Place cells [determining location], view cells [what was being seen in the environmen], and goal cells [involved in finding a location, person or thing]."
