Edvard I. Moser

Edvard I. Moser is a Norwegian neuroscientist known for his groundbreaking research on how the brain creates spatial awareness and navigation. Along with his wife, May-Britt Moser, he helped discover "grid cells" in the brain’s entorhinal cortex, which act like a coordinate system, enabling us to understand where we are in space. His work has significantly advanced our understanding of memory and cognition, earning him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2014. Essentially, his research sheds light on the brain's internal GPS, helping us comprehend how we find our way and remember locations.
