The Nobel Committee at Stockholm awarded Nobel prize for physiology or medicine to three scientists (Edvard Moser, John O'Keefe and May-Britt Moser) who discovered the "Brain's GPS system".
Have you ever thought how brain comes to know about our position?
Answer to that Grabbed Nobel price to UK-based researcher Prof John O'Keefe as well as May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser.
John O'Keefe, director of the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour at University College London discovered "Place Cell" which gets activated when something is around.
And May-Britt Moser, who is director of the Centre for Neural Computation in Trondheim, and Edvard Moser, director of the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience in Trondheim discovered the “grid cells" which acts more like a nautical chart helping the brain to judge distance and navigate thereof.
"The discovery have solved a problem that has occupied philosophers and scientists form centuries," the Nobel Assembly said and added "Their findings may help explain why Alzheimer's disease patients cannot recognise their surroundings."
