ノーベル賞 The 2014 Nobel Prize [Nature]
The 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to John O’Keefe, May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser.
The researchers discovered how the brain helps us navigate the world around us.
O’Keefe, a neuroscientist at University College London, discovered specialized “place cells” that were activated when a rat explored a room.
In 2005, the Mosers (a married couple who share a laboratory at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway) together discovered another component of the brain’s positioning system. The “grid cells” they found create a coordinate system by firing at regular spatial intervals as an animal explores a space. They went on to show how grid cells and place cells work together.
今年のノーベル賞は、神経科学者というのかしら、ロンドンにある大学の方と、ノルウェーのご夫婦ですね。カップルなんて、初じゃないのかしら。
