May-Britt Moser

b. 1963

May-Britt Moser (b. 1963) is a Norwegian neuroscientist who, along with her then-husband Edvard Moser, discovered grid cells in the entorhinal cortex, a key component of the brain's spatial navigation system. She shared the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with John O'Keefe and Edvard Moser for their work on place and grid cells. Her research focuses on neural mechanisms of spatial representation and memory, with a strong emphasis on rigorous experimental design and interdisciplinary collaboration.
