John O’Keefe, May-Britt, Edvard Moser win Nobel Prize in Physiology

WASHINGTON: John O’Keefe, May-Britt and Edvard Moser won Nobel Prize in Physiology on Physiology, TheNewsTribe.com reported on Monday.

In 1971, John O´Keefe discovered the first component of this positioning system.

He found that a type of nerve cell in an area of the brain called the hippocampus that was always activated when a rat was at a certain place in a room.

Other nerve cells were activated when the rat was at other places. O´Keefe concluded that these “place cells” formed a map of the room.

The discoveries of John O´Keefe, May‐Britt Moser and Edvard Moser have solved a problem that has occupied philosophers and scientists for centuries, how does the brain create a map of the space surrounding us and how can we navigate our way through a complex environment?

May Brill becomes the 11th women to win the prize in physiology or medicine.
