Edvard Moser, medicine laureate 2014: Neural computation of space and time

Edvard Moser, recipient of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, gave a lecture to students and young scientists on the topic of “Neural computation of space and time”. He described his research into how animals perceive space and time, and gave insights into his journey towards receiving the Nobel Prize.

This lecture was part of the Nobel Prize Inspiration Initiative (NPII), a global programme designed to help Nobel Laureates share their inspirational stories and insights. By taking Nobel Prize laureates on visits to universities and research centres around the world, and by capturing their thoughts on video, the Initiative seeks to bring the laureates into closer contact with the worldwide scientific community, and especially with an audience of young scientists. NPII Italy 2023 was delivered in partnership with AstraZeneca and hosted by the University of Pavia.
