May-Britt Moser first woman to win Nobel prize

In partnership with her husband Edvard Moser and John, Britt Moser received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for scientific purposes at the Kavli Institute (ranked 15th in the world, 4th in neuroscience) and advances in understanding neural circuits and programs in 2014. From 2003 to 2012, he founded the Center for Biology and Memory Research, a Norwegian-sponsored fitness center, and led the Center for Neural Computation, the second fitness center to exist from 2013 to 2022. As head of the institute in Trondheim, Moser-Moser and his research team are investigating the effective functioning of the cell and circuit network and their role in building memory in the hippocampus and its benefits.

Britt and Edvard Moser's most famous contribution was the discovery of entorhinal lattice cells in 2005 (Hafting et al., Nature, 2005) which showed that the entorhinal cortex is the center of the brain network that assists navigation. Moser and her husband discovered that lattice cells allow us to determine, navigate and remember positions so that we can repeat our journey. The discovery of lattice cells showed for the first time that the rat brain has its own map of the universe that sets independence in nature.

They are credited with the discovery of cells that make up the brain's immune system. With their discovery of these cells, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2014 went to half of John OKeefe, Ph.D., from University College London, and the other half to Britt Moser, Ph.D. and Edvard I. Moser Ph.D. both from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. For their pioneering research on brain imaging techniques, Moses and his colleague John Okeefe were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

Moser told the Nobel laureates that he had a desire to understand living things and their relationships with behavior and brains from childhood on the farm. Their research showed that setting the lattice of cells enabled them to locate and navigate the area, the Nobel committee said. These discoveries include the two winners, who shared the award with Britt and Edvard I. Moser, and a wealthy group of scientists and philosophers who have been thinking about the connection between memory and the brain from at least ancient Greece.

In 1946, he received a scholarship to Washington University, where he repeated his previous work and received the Nobel Prize for his discovery of emotional development. Britt Moser met Edvard Moser at the University of Oslo while studying psychology, and they later became men and collaborative students. Together they graduated with a doctorate in Neurophysiology in 1995. He received training as a psychologist in the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Oslo and received a doctorate in neurophysiology from the Medical Faculty in 1995; was appointed Associate Professor of Biology at the Faculty of Psychology of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in 1996, when he became Professor of Neuroscience in 2000.

The prize worth 10 million Swedish kronor went to Norwegian neuroscientist Britt Moser who discovered an internal brain navigation system with her husband and fellow researcher Edvard Moser and American researcher John OKeefe. The Nobel Prize in Medicine is not only a prestigious and acclaimed award for researchers, but she and her husband Edvard were also the first Norwegian women to receive it, and she is one of the small group of women to receive it.

In 1903, two years after the founding of the Nobel Foundation, the Nobel Prize was awarded to the first woman, Marie Curie. Norwegian psychologist and neuroscientist May-Britt Moser is the first woman to win the 2014 Nobel Prize for her discovery of lattice cells and other neurons that function as part of the brain's ability to represent space. May and her husband Edvard Moser shared part of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1 and 2 on the function of squat trees in the entorhinal cortex and the many additional spaces representing cell types in the same circuits that form the brain structure.

Marie Curie was the daughter of Irene Joliot-Curie, who was awarded the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which made her the only mother and daughter to receive the award. Moser is married and is the fifth married couple to win the award and the first since 1947. Of the more than 900 women who received awards, 57 women were awarded Nobel Prizes for outstanding contributions to the fields of medicine, science, the arts, and peacekeeping.

A Chinese chemist won the Nobel Prize for his discovery of artemisinin in 2015, a compound used to treat malaria, by distinguishing the sweet worm found in traditional Chinese medicine.

Nobel laureate Dr. Eric R. Kandel of Columbia University, who won the Nobel Prize for his brain research, said he had spoken to the Nobel Committee to support his nomination. This year's Nobel laureates have received a stand-alone app or GPS in the brain that enables us to adjust to space and demonstrate the cellular basis of high-performance. The prize is the recognition of the brain's internal navigation system, which forms a so-called cell grid and connects them.
