Study Finds Pilots’ Brains Work Differently
Medical science has now confirmed what your family and friends have been telling you since the first time you strapped in and maybe before that. Your brain works differently than that of non-flying folks and contrary to what those in your immediate bubble might think, that’s actually a good thing, well mostly.

All pilots have my utmost admiration!
Think of how this theory could have been completely screwed up had they collected data from the last Tail Hook Convention in Vegas.
Hah! We're all about the same once we get out of town....
It's on the internet, it must be true.
Made In China. Caveat emptor.
If you would like a couple stories of pilots whose brains short-circuited.....

And yet, that “wired differently” brain can easily fall prey to spatial disorientation when it should know better (i.e., trust your instruments).
Heard the same about cab drivers a long time ago.
I like this study, though I don't think it has any groundbreaking science about how the brain works. It seems to support that piloting(and learning to pilot)an aircraft probably makes us use our brains more in certain ways than those with comparable education. It improves connectivity measured outside the cockpit environment. What it does not tell us is wether this has any effect on other functioning outside the cockpit, but interesting to speculate on this.
This reminds me of a story that perhaps helps us understand more about why this is so interesting - hope you may enjoy this read:
