Edvard Moser was born in Ålesund, Norway. After studying at the University of Oslo, he received a doctorate in neurophysiology in 1995. After stays at the University of Edinburgh and University College London, the couple moved to the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. Edvard Moser is a professor of neuroscience and director of the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience in Trondheim. 

Edvard Moser出生于挪威奧瑞斯桑德。在奧斯陸大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)后，1995年獲得了神經(jīng)生理學(xué)博士學(xué)位。在愛(ài)丁堡大學(xué)和倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院學(xué)習(xí)后，與妻子搬到了位于特隆赫姆的挪威科技大學(xué)。Edvard Moser是神經(jīng)科學(xué)教授，也是挪威卡弗里系統(tǒng)神經(jīng)研究所的主任。

In 2005 May-Britt Moser and Edvard I. Moser discovered a type of cell that is important for determining position close to the hippocampus, an area located in the center of the brain. They found that when a rat passed certain points arranged in a hexagonal grid in space, nerve cells that form a kind of coordinate system for navigation were activated. They then went on to demonstrate how these different cell types cooperate.

2005年5月，Edvard與妻子發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種細(xì)胞，這種細(xì)胞對(duì)于確定靠近海馬體的位置非常重要，也就是大腦中央的一個(gè)區(qū)域。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)，當(dāng)一只老鼠通過(guò)空間中排列成六角形網(wǎng)格的特定點(diǎn)時(shí)，形成某種坐標(biāo)系的神經(jīng)細(xì)胞就會(huì)被激活。然后他們繼續(xù)論證這些不同的細(xì)胞類(lèi)型是如何合作的。
