May-Britt Moser

Mai Brittmoze is a professor of neuroscience at the NTNU Neurocomputing Center at the Norwegian University of Technology in Trondheim and co director of science. Her research interests are the neural basis of spatial location and spatial memory, as well as more general cognitive functions. Through long-term collaboration with Edward Moser, grid cells were discovered in the inner olfactory cortex and other functional cell types were identified, including head oriented cells, boundary cells, velocity cells, and target vector cells, as well as the latest mechanism for representing plot time. All studies have shown that the entorhinal cortex is the hub for representing space and experience in the brain network. In addition, she has demonstrated that this network has adult like characteristics since the early stages of rodents, indicating the possibility of innate basis for brain spatial coding. Under the guidance of Dr. Peranderson, Mai Brittemoze received preliminary training at the University of Oslo, based on studying the memory structure of the hippocampus. Since 2000, he has been serving as a NTNU professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Mai Brittemoze has won numerous awards for his outstanding work. She shared the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Edward Moser and John O'Keefe.
