Протягом століть мислителі намагалися розгадати таємницю мозку та зрозуміти те, як мозок усвідомлює світ. В останні десятиліття видатні нейробіологи наблизилися до розгадки цього феномену та надали важливу інформацію щодо ролі мозку в складній поведінці. Однією з них є Мей-Брітт Мозер, норвезький психолог і нейробіолог, яка відома своїми роботами з просторової орієнтації, просторової пам’яті та пізнання в цілому, а також є співодержувачем Нобелівської премії в галузі фізіології або медицини 2014 року. Ця стаття має на меті окреслити основні етапи її творчої діяльності.
Ключові слова: гіпокамп, Мей-Брітт Мозер, нейронаука, Нобелівська премія в галузі фізіології або медицини 2014 року, просторове навчання, просторове орієнтування
