Nobel Prize in Physiology Or Medicine Awarded to Edvard I

Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine awarded to Edvard I. Moser, coordinator of GRIDMAP FET project The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 2014 has been awarded with one half to John O´Keefe and the other half jointly to May‐Britt Moser and Edvard I. Moser, for their discoveries of cells that constitute a positioning system in the brain. Edvard Moser is also the coordinator of the GRIDMAP project, where his wife May‐Britt Moser is involved too. The project "Grid cells: From brains to technical implementation" will use new and developing knowledge about how the brain functions to develop better computers. The project is coordinated by Professor Edvard Moser at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience and the Centre for Neuronal Computation (KI/CNC), which is a research centre at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim (Norway). In GRIDMAP, Edvard Moser's group investigates the number of grid modules, the anatomical arrangement of modules, their functional interaction, and their implications for position representation and memory. This knowledge will be taken to a prototypic mobile robot for comparison of parallel and serial computational strategies for spatial localization. GRIDMAP project (March 2013 - February 2016) has been launched as part of the FET Proactive Neuro- Bio Inspired Systems initiative. It involves 4 European partners and receives 2.9 M€ EU funding.
