Why people recommend it

Making Space by Jennifer M. Groh is an insightful exploration of neuroscience that investigates how the human brain processes spatial information and understands where objects and thoughts are located. On an episode of Huberman Lab released in November 2025 titled How Your Thoughts Are Built & How You Can Shape Them, host Andrew Huberman recommended the book to his audience during the closing segments. Huberman directed listeners to the show note captions for a direct link to the publication, encouraging them to explore the material to learn more about the extensive research conducted by Dr. Jennifer Groh and her laboratory. The recommendation highlighted the book's value as an accessible yet scientifically grounded resource for understanding the complex mechanisms behind spatial perception, neural wiring, and cognitive mapping. By pointing his listeners toward this work, Huberman provided a practical pathway for individuals eager to deepen their comprehension of the neurological foundations that govern everyday perception, navigation, and human thought processes.
