May-Britt Moser

Biography

May-Britt Moser shared the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering grid cells in the brain that form a positioning system enabling spatial navigation. Working alongside Edvard Moser at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, she revealed how the brain creates an internal map of the environment. Their discoveries were fundamental to understanding how the brain computes location, direction, and distance. Her work has profound implications for understanding memory disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
