Edvard I Moser, Nobel Laureate in Medicine or Physiology 2014 Founding Director of the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience and Co-Director of Centre for Neural Computation. Edvard Moser is interested in how spatial location and spatial memory are computed in the brain. His work, conducted with May-Britt Moser as a long-term collaborator, includes the discovery of grid cells in the entorhinal cortex, which provides the first clues to a neural mechanism for the metric of spatial mapping. Subsequent to this discovery the Mosers have identified additional space-representing cell types in the entorhinal cortex and they are beginning to unravel how the neural microcircuit is organized and how grid patterns are generated. Edvard Moser shares the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology 2014 with May-Britt Moser and John O'Keefe.
