Tribute to pioneering cognitive neuroscientist Professor Eleanor Maguire. Comment so sad to read about the passing of Professor Eleanor Maguire. Ironically, when I had breast cancer 2017/18 and was writing a book about same and the impact of TBI, amnesia, loss of olfactory sense of smell, et al, I came across her work and it provided so many answers at the time, I wrote to her and she kindly replied with other links too. Below is the tribute from UCL. Quote: This is core to loss due to TBI in my case: “Eleanor substantiated her “Scene Construction Theory” with numerous studies that showed how the hippocampus constantly constructs spatially coherent scenes, automatically synthesising and anticipating representations of the world beyond what was immediately presented to the sensorium (the part of the brain that processes sensory information).This, she proposed, was what enables us to re-experience the past (memory) and imagine future events and places which is – of course – essential for navigation.
