2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to John O'Keefe (John O Keefe), Mai - Britt Moser (May〣ritt Moser) and Edward Moser (Edvard Moser) three. They found that the brain's "GPS" system. The following is the interpretation Nutshell network. (Ray Ban Wayfarer II Sunglasses)
Is how we know where we are in? How we find from one place to another route? We are down to how this information is stored, so that when we next return to old haunt can find their way immediately?
2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine winners are found in the brain's "positioning system", a built-in GPS, allows us to locate where I was in space, suggesting that higher cognitive functions are also cell-level basis.
1971, John O'Keefe discovered the first component of the positioning system. He found that the hippocampus of the brain where there is a nerve cell, whenever a particular location in rats living room, when these cells will always be activated. Other living nerve cells elsewhere in the rat when activated. O'Keefe concluded that these "place cells" (place cells) make up the map of the room.
Thirty years later, Mai - Britt Moser and Edward Moser found another key component of the brain positioning system. They found another nerve cell, named "grid cells" (grid cells), which form a coordinate system that allows precise positioning of biological and wayfinding. Their follow-up studies have shown that place cells and grid cells together so that the positioning and navigation possible.
John O'Keefe, Mai - Britt Moser and Edvard Moser's study answers the troubled philosophers and scientists for centuries problem - how to give the space around the brain to create a map of how we in the complex environment looking route.
