Moser research environment

The Mosers were awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries of cells that constitute a positioning system in the brain.

[4] The stated scientific goal is "to advance our understanding of neural circuits and systems and their role in generating psychological functions.

By focusing on spatial representation and memory, we expect to uncover general principles of neural network computation in the mammalian cortex.

[3] The CNC co-exists with the institute which complements the shorter-term projects at CBM/CNC, pursuing questions that demand a longer experimental time frame, aimed, ultimately, "to improve life and health by advancing the science of human cognition".

Other professors at the Institute are Menno Witter, Clifford Kentros, Yasser Roudi and Emre Yaksi.
