May-Britt Moser

May-Britt Moser, who received the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine 2014, is a Norwegian neuroscientist and founder of the Center for Neural Computation at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. She is committed to the research of positioning system in the brain, its cellular basis for higher cognitive function. Together with her husband Edvard Moser, she discovered cells that constitute a positioning system in the human brain and identified another type of nerve cell, which they called “grid cells”, that generate a coordinate system and allow for precise positioning and path finding..

In the forum, Moser introduces her latest research findings and speak about the outlook of global neural science.
