摘要：

Navigation and awareness of space is a complicated cognitive process that requires sensory input and calculation, as well as spatial memory. The 2014 Nobel Laureates in Physiology or Medicine, John OKeefe, Edvard Moser, and May-Britt Moser, have worked to explain how an environmental map forms and is used in the brain (Nobelprize.org 2014b). OKeefe discovered place cells that allow the brain to learn and remember specific locations. The Mosers added the second part of the positioning system in the brain with their discovery of grid cells, which provide the brain with a navigational coordinate system (Nobelprize.org 2014b). © Neyda Gilman.
