The correct answer is "increased activity of the right hippocampal formation".
Hippocampus is a brain area which is part of the limbic system and is located below the cerebral cortex. Humans have two hippocampi, one in each side of the brain. Hippocampus is responsible for the formation of long-term memories, by participating in the consolidation of short-term to long-term memory. It also plays a very important role in spatial memory and orientation.
The task that this experienced cab-driver is asked to perform is related to spatial navigation and orientation abilities. The right hippocampus has been shown to participate in the formation of memory for locations in specific environments, while the left hippocampus has been shown to be involved in autobiographical and episodic memory. As a result, the PET scan will show an increased activity of the right hippocampus.

In terms of energy resources, how do wealthier, developed nations compare
Luden [163]

Answer:

D. People who live in wealthier countries tend to consume more energy per person.

Explanation:

People in wealthy countries have access to many technologies such as phones, televisions, and house appliances like coffee makers. All of these use energy. Wealthy people also tend to have larger houses that require more electricity to light and heat/cool. People in developing countries do not have access to these technologies or large houses that consume large amounts of energy. Additionally, people in poverty are unable to afford the levels of energy that wealthy citizens can. For these reasons, wealthier countries consume more energy per person.
